A Message from Pastor Andrew: Thank you so much for coming to Ladies Retreat. It is so important to be at the place of most potential. Your presence will make a huge difference in the overall experience for everyone. Thank you! You will be in our prayers, as we hope, we are in yours. There are going to be great times of closeness with the Lord and fellowship with one another. I am proud of you and I know you will be ambassadors of Christ & "The Rock" in a way that makes all proud. I really hope you have a magnificent time.
I want to encourage you to build relationships with each other and take advantage of the opportunity to get to know each other. I do want to remind you that the ladies retreat setting is not a confidential environment so matters of a personal sensitive nature should not be shared there. The retreat is also not the right environment or ethos for counseling. I ask that you will keep those to scheduled times back at the church. Just one last note of housekeeping, any trip we take as a church is to be alcohol free. I appreciate your cooperation & compliance with this policy. Thank you. Now it's time to have an incredible time in the Lord!
May you be blessed as you fellowship, grow & laugh; I'm praying for you.
Love, Pastor Andrew.
What to expect...
Expect to have a great time! We are praying that this weekend is a time of rest & is refreshing for you. We are praying that you build some relationships with other believers in the Church. Our God is so gracious to us. He has promised in His word...
"And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13
As we come together this weekend to seek the Lord, we are expecting Him to be with us. May He bless you, teach you, & refresh your spirit. Grace & peace to you from God our Father & the Lord Jesus Christ.
*Take some alone time every day to be with the Lord. Then rest, recreate, & fellowship. Retreat your own way.*

Whitewater Rafting with Idaho Whitewater Unlimited, Garden Valley, ID (Friday, 9:00am)
- Wear quick drying shorts or a bathing suit as a base layer. We can then add river gear over the top. In any case, avoid cotton because it gets wet, stays wet, and hold the cold against your skin.
- Wear sandals with an ankle strap, or old sneakers that you don't mind getting wet.
- A hat is a good idea, as are sunscreen and sunglasses
- if anyone wears expensive glasses of any sort, they should have a retainer strap to keep them from getting away.
- Fill out this waiver for rafting before retreat stbd.io/dndojr
Hiking (Friday @ 9:00am) - Join some ladies for a beautiful hike Friday morning! We will do 5-6 miles of this trail.
- Julie Creek Trail on AllTrails https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/idaho/julie-creek-trail?sh=rbdw4r
- Bring a backpack, sturdy shoes, snacks, and water
We can't wait to retreat with you!
