In today's world, women take on many roles. We have careers and we volunteer. We raise our families and we care for loved ones, neighbors and friends. We tend many gardens every day! In our hearts and in our minds, we know that God is with us always. In the reality of our busy lives, we find little time for the Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God." As summer comes to a close and the season of harvest begins, the Presbyterian Women of Second invite all women in our church to join us for a WOMEN’S FALL "Spiritual" RETREAT. Our retreat will offer guided time for reflection on God's Word, quiet time for spiritual renewal and prayer, and gathering time to strengthen our Christian fellowship. We hope you will save the date and make plans to attend. - Date: Friday evening, September 17th through Saturday afternoon, September 18th
- Place: Kavanaugh Life Enrichment Center in Crestwood, KY (20 minute drive from Church)
- Time: 6:30 PM Friday evening to 3:00 PM Saturday afternoon (Check in Friday anytime after 4:00 PM)
- Cost: Private Room $90; Double Occupancy Room $70 (Includes 3 meals)
