Paul tells us in Colossians 1:17 that Christ is before all things and, therefore, everything is held together by Him. This is the teaching focus for SWO12 this summer…Jesus is everything! Too often we recognize Christ as our savior and forget that He is also our creator and sustainer–our Lord. We are nothing without Him, and anything good in us is only by His grace lavished upon us. As you prepare for this summer, please immerse yourself in scripture. Meditate on the book of Colossians and see the great deity of Christ. Recognize Christ as savior and submit to Him as God. “For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell.” Pray that He would reveal himself to you through the study of scripture, continually conforming you more into His image every day.

“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.”
Colossians 1:15-20

The first Women’s Retreat will be held April 25th-27th, 2013!
God intricately designed women to be caregivers, supporters, hard workers and sacrificers. But in our fallen world, we more often allow ourselves to be characterized by selfishness, vanity, deceit, hostility and impatience. How do we become the “woman who fears the Lord” in Proverbs 31? How do we seek to be the humble feminine leader described in Titus 2? Dare we allow Christ, as our husband, to draw us back to Himself as He did with His beloved Israel in the book of Hosea? At the Snowbird Women’s Retreat, women of all ages will be challenged with what it looks like to live as Godly women in desperate pursuit of Christ. We will gain a deeper understanding of what it looks to fight for our marriages, our singleness, our children and our futures. As we dig deep into Scripture, may we find growth beyond futility, hope without despair and healing in the arms of Grace.
Cost is $99/person.
