“Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:30-31 [+/-]Isaiah 40:30-31 [30]Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; [31]but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Women’s Ministry invites you to come away and wait for the Lord with us as He renews our strength. Come gain endurance with us as we learn to run without stumbling by drawing our strength from the only source that will last the entire race. We will begin the evening by eating dinner together. Throughout the evening and the following morning, we will have opportunities to delve together into God’s word and to share what we hear.

Cost: $20 includes lodging, 2 meals and materials. Scholarships are available.

Each evening will begin at 5:30 and you will be on your way home by noon the following day. Though your time investment is only 18 hours (including sleeping), your time away will eliminate the busyiness that distracts us from God.

Content Summary

•Parenting when your kids know more about the computer than you.
•Molding character and teaching wisdom not just imposing rules or setting limitations.
•Protecting your children from on-line predators.
•Becoming aware of modes of on-line communication: their appeal, usefulness, and dangers.
•Protecting your children from on-line pornography.
•How to respond when/if your children do view pornography.
•How to assess the degree of danger in your children’s inappropriate on-line activities.
•How to teach a healthy view of relationships, sex, and integrity.
•What do acronyms like LOL, POS, ROTFL, and HAK mean?

Who Should Attend

•Any parent who has a computer in their home and children who want to use it.
•Any grandparent who has a computer in their home and grandchildren who want to use it.
•Youth workers, volunteers, and Sunday School teachers.
•Teachers and educators.
•Those who work with parents in a professional or ministry setting.

How to Use the Seminar

1. Come for your own personal growth and education. We pray this seminar will equip parents and grandparents to be more effective and aware as they seek to shape the hearts of children and youth.

2. Come to equip yourself to minister to others. We pray the impact of this seminar will be multiplied as youth workers, teachers, and those who work with parents have opportunity to share this material with others.

3. Bring lost friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers who are interested in the subject. It is impossible to parent effectively without the Gospel. It is our sin nature and the flesh that we are combating as we parent. This seminar will point to the importance of the Gospel and Scripture to change the heart and make long-term character change. If you know a lost person who is concerned about their family and the internet, then consider using this event as a way to help them see the necessity of the Gospel, the insight of Scripture, and the usefulness of being plugged into a local church.

Epworth by the Sea, St. Simon’s Island
…a beautiful, historic riverfront setting

The race God calls us to run is so vastly different from the “rat race” of life. It
becomes so hard to draw from God’s strength to be able to “Go the Distance”
unless we find the joy we are promised in Christ. We must seek God’s will and
surround ourselves with like-minded runners for support. Sometimes, we need
friends whom we can draft from and sometimes we are allowed the privilege
of drafting a sister in Christ. Our winter retreat will offer ample opportunity
to find our joy, draw strength from His Word, and to fellowship with sisters.
More than that, it will be a time to refresh your mind, body and spirit.
Through a combination of powerful worship and prayerful meditations, your
soul will be uplifted.
To enhance the experience of this event, we’ve reserved one of the most beau-
tiful retreat centers in Georgia…Epworth by the Sea. Where else could
you relax and dine in such a beautiful atmosphere…and be refreshed and
inspired. It is your chance to join with other women who desire a deep passion
for Him and His will for their lives.
February 5th — 7th, 2010
Reserve your space early to take advantage of discounted pricing! Limited
scholarships are available. Contact Carol Palmer at (706)554-5953 for

Moses saw it (the burning bush) and wondered what it was.
AS HE WENT TO SEE,
the voice of the Lord called out to him. When the Lord saw Moses
turning aside from the routine of his day,
He spoke to him. ~Blackaby

Winter Retreat at Epworth
by the Sea
…a beautiful, historic riverfront
setting
St. Simons Island, Georgia

In our experience, we have found that getting away from the routine of every-
day life enables us to hear God’s voice and find a clearer focus.  We must seek
God’s will and surround ourselves with like-minded friends for support.  This
event will offer ample opportunity to seek His heart and to fellowship with
friends, maybe even stand shoulder to shoulder with a few new friends.  More
than that, it will be a time to refresh your mind, body and spirit.  Through a
combination of powerful worship and prayerful meditations, your soul will be
uplifted. Continue Reading »
