Last weekend the women from our church, CHATSWORTH LAKE CHURCH, were blessed to host the annual Christian Women's Retreat for our So Cal church group.
Our theme was THROUGH OCEANS DEEP, when God leads you into rough waters. Our teaching came from Acts 27, Paul's storm filled boat journey, that is loaded with principles of how a Christian is to go through the storms of life.
We crafted folders for each woman attending.
Friday night started off with getting to know each other with a fun Beach Hat & surprise!!! Dance Contest. This got us all laughing and making friends.
In keeping with our beach theme the dining room was set as a Candlelight Beach Cafe.
Tables were adorned with lanterns, shells, fresh flowers, and specially designed boats made from vintage lace and bleached driftwood.
The meals at Camp Maranatha, in the mountains of Idyllwild, are fabulous. Especially this fork tender roast beef with gravy and mashed potatoes.
Saturday afternoon brought crafting fun as we made beach tags.
In the evening we played BINGO with popcorn and a table full of good prizes.
What a blessing our Chatsworth ladies were as each got to share her gifts. Thank you Lord for these women and for giving us joy even in the midst of storms.
"So take heart men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told". Acts 27:25
