Women’s Retreat 2023
47 women attended our FIRST annual OCC Women’s Retreat at Canterbury Retreat Center.
Our theme for the weekend was “Wishful Thinking, Hopeful Believing.” Our speaker, Cindy Perkins, taught us how to become hopeful believers by being disciples of Christ who employ disciplines of faith.
Our logo was the dandelion, which represented planting seeds of faith while playing off of the “wishful” theme. We participated in crafts, worship, communion, break-out groups, yoga, and a two-hour time alone with God without distraction. We ate together, laughed together, and shed tears together. This further solidified the power of community and rest.
In this quiet, beautiful place, we met with God and His people in an extraordinary way. The Lord stirred in our hearts and spurred us on to love and serve. Thank you to all the women who made this weekend a special time of connection and restoration.
