Pastors Wives Retreat

Once Upon A Time!!! Ready to join us for our annual Ministers’ Wives Retreat?

Proverbs 31:30 says “Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades.  The woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the fear of God.”

Our princess theme is sure to be fun and insightful.  We all had dreams as a little girl of marrying prince charming.  Ministry can be royal and ordinary all at the same time.  Our weekend will hold many different thoughts of being a princess to the King of Kings.

Friday PM will be a fun night of ice breakers to get to know each other.
Saturday AM will feature Ruth Puleo leading us in communion as we ponder what we have been given to “bring to the King’s table.”
Saturday afternoon will feature a new workshop “Treat Your Feet.  You will give yourself a pedicure, receive a free file for your feet, products to try, and your own footbath pan.  (Please bring your own polish for your toenails.)
Saturday PM will be testimonies and “PennDel Has Talent.”  New to this year, it is a time to smile as you entertain us with fun skits and songs.  If you plan to participate, please email me (Marjie @penndel.org).  We need at least 10 participants.
Sunday AM will feature a panel of ministers wives of various ages.  Please email your topics/questions to me.

Please register early. If you have never attended a PennDel Ministers’ Wives retreat, you can use the enclosed $20 coupon to reduce the cost of your weekend.  There will be partial scholarships available on a first come, first serve basis.  Email or call to request a scholarship Marjie@penndel.org or 717-795-5921.  Please note:  there will be no refunds after September 1.

Please encourage your staff wives to join you (even if their husbands are not credentialed).  If they are not credentialed, they did not receive a brochure, so feel free to copy it for them.  However, this weekend is only for pastors’ wives, not lay church staff.  Encourage ministry wives in your town to attend with you.

Extra incentive: Receive a gift if you are a driver for another minister’s wife who is not from your church.  Ride together – that is part of the fun of the weekend!

Note to husbands: Please encourage the church board to provide the funds for your ministry wives.  This weekend is designed to pamper, renew, and refresh your diligent wife.

Any questions?? Call or email Marjie Tourville at 717-795-5921 or Marjie@penndel.org.  I’m so looking forward to being with you September 16-18, 2011.
