Attention women of the Lakes. Do you want more out of your prayer life? Do you want to draw closer to God but don’t have the time?

We believe that we need to make time to pray …

‘The great freight and passenger trains are never too busy to stop for fuel. No matter how congested the yards may be, no matter how crowded the schedules are, no matter how many things demand the attention of the trainmen, those trains always stop for fuel.’ M. E. Andross

… and a weekend away with like minded women, fabulous food, uplifting worship and inspiring teaching is a great place to start. (Tempted yet?)

We believe that as women we need give God opportunities to speak into our lives and so grow us and change us …

‘To pray is to change. Prayer is the central avenue God uses to transform us. If we are unwilling to change, we will abandon prayer as a noticeable characteristic of our lives. The more we pray, the more we come to heartbeat of God. Prayer starts the communication process between ourselves and God. All the options of life fall before us. At that point we will either forsake our prayer life and cease to grow, or we will pursue our prayer life and let Him change us.

We believe that this will be a life changing experience…

‘To have God speak to the heart is a majestic experience, an experience that people may miss if they monopolize the conversation and never pause to hear God's responses’. Charles Stanley

Book early so you don’t miss out.
