Greetings My Sisters in Christ! It is that time again, to shake out the camping clothes and prepare for our 2016 Day Apart Retreat. There are several reasons this retreat will be great! We are sharing the weekend with the College Retreat, so the creative gifts of young adults will be among us. We will celebrate LOVE, because that is what February represents. We will study, receive updated training, and experience deep fellowship to expand our leadership potential as DWM. Additionally, we will be able to see the progress of the Latham House, our Service Project. This will be a great retreat! We happen to be sharing in a retreat on the weekend I was born (smile). Yes, I will be celebrating my birthday on Friday, February 19th, right at Camp Caroline with my sisters, and I would love to have you there with me! Although February is a bit frosty, we invite you to bring your favorite blanket for your bed. Bring extra hot chocolate, and bring plenty of smiles and hugs! To make sure you are prepared for this exciting Winter event, please review the itinerary below.
