Pastors Wives Retreat

I Have Issues

There are so many  shoes we have in our closet:  House Shoes (making your house a home), Painful Shoes (grieving with friends and family), Work Shoes (asked to do jobs that drain your energy, Sneakers (always running) and the list goes on!!!

As ladies, we love our variety of shoes.  A  new pair of shoes can change the direction of our day and lift our spirits like nothing else; however, a pair of shoes that don’t quite fit right can make our whole body ache!

Our guest speaker, Jelly Valimont, author of “I Have Issues,” will identify with us as she speaks about her journey as a pastor’s wife in Griffin, GA.  Let’s walk together at Ministers’ Wives Retreat to discover ways “our feet” can fit into the many shoes we wear! 

Friday PM will be a fun night of ice breakers to get to know each other.
Saturday AM will feature Jelly as we ponder why we wear the shoes we do
Saturday afternoon spa: Treat Your Feet, Manicure, Haircut, Manicure and more
Saturday PM will be testimonies and Jelly will speak.
Sunday AM will feature Jelly as she challenges us to “walk in the Spirit.”

Please register early. If you have never attended a PennDel Ministers’ Wives retreat, you can use the $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.
