SAVE THE DATE: Women's Retreat, March 27-29 at the Sea Crest Resort in Falmouth. "Finishing Well: Leaving your Mark in the World" by Becky Toews. We are made in God's image; and therefore are intended to be image-bearers of Him, no matter what our age is. This retreat is for women of ALL ages who desire for God to engrave His character on them so as to manifest His glory to the world. Each session will address a particular mark of God's character that He wants to engrave on us. Save the dates and plan to attend.


Women's Retreat Planning. We are currently putting together a planning team for the women's retreat. If you are interested in being a part of this ministry, please contact Gail Devins, 774-274-0624 or sign up in the FAC. We have immediate needs for publicity (designing & printing the retreat brochure) as well as other needs in registration, program planning, music, and other areas. See the sign-up sheet on the table in the FAC.
