“Be Still” Women’s Retreat
The Greater Houston Church women’s ministry is excited to have our very own retreat this spring! In just a few short weeks we will be traveling to Forest Glen Christian Camp outside of Huntsville, TX, to reconnect & refocus our spiritual lives. Many times we can be so overwhelmed or distracted by life that we become distant in our relationship with God. As women, we can be overly focused on meeting other people’s needs at our homes, jobs, and schools that we neglect our own need to “be still” before our Lord & Savior.
It is our hope and prayer that we can revitalize our connection with our Creator in the middle of His beautiful creation! The retreat facility is located in the Sam Houston National Forest on 286 acres. We have many exciting events planned including classes, prayer walks, entertainment & games, plus time to just “retreat”! Our meals are provided in a dining facility that overlooks a tranquil 24-acre lake. The setting is ideal for us to be able to worship our God away from our everyday lives and all the distractions that come with it.
We have opened the retreat to women in all our ministries including married, single, campus, high school and middle school (6th grade & up). We want to use the weekend to rekindle old friendships and start new ones. One of the blessings of God’s kingdom is our diversity and our ability to inspire one another through our examples, young and old! There is also a unique opportunity for mothers and daughters to spend special time growing in their spiritual maturity together.
Please take the time now to prepare and pray for a great retreat! Average temperatures for March in this area are a high of 71°F and a low of 50°F. Of course, we know that in southeastern Texas there is always a possibility of rain, so it is recommended you bring appropriate outerwear. Please see a more extensive list of what to bring below. Pray that nothing will hinder your ability to attend and enjoy our retreat.
Psalm 46:10
"Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
