Women's Retreat - For an army, to retreat is to “withdraw from enemy forces as a result of their superior power, or after a defeat.” As a noun it is defined as, “an act of moving back or withdrawing.” Originated in the Latin, “retrahere” retreat is both movement and place, a seeking of safety and a finding of safe place.
This year, the women of the church (and their friends, sisters, neighbors) are invited to retreat to the mountains for a time of relationship-building and tender care while we explore a difficult topic in an encouraging fellowship of fellow followers of Jesus. We will be exploring forgiveness, considering it from the perspective of forgiving others, seeking forgiveness from others and forgiving ourselves.
For this topic, retreat seems like the perfect word. In order to have space and time and energy to attend to the multiple layers and meanings of forgiveness, we need to withdraw from the forces around us that seem to overpower us, in order to be empowered by God’s Word to us. Forgiveness begins and ends with finding our identity within the heart of God. Come be renewed and refreshed in that identity.
