Women’s retreat
We canceled our Sunday morning worship here at Av. de France and gathered at the women’s retreat at the nearby conference center. 70 plus Christian women were together for a weekend of worship and Bible study. They asked me to speak on PEACE on Sunday morning, which I did.
Everyone should have the experience of speaking at a women’s retreat on the last day, after God has been at work through Spirit and word, love and patience in a group of people who have come together for praise and sharing. Heads nodded, laughter erupted, tears flowed and “yes-es” could be heard throughout our worship.
Wife was in charge of sign-ups as well as working on cooking coordination and purchasing for the kitchen. She worked hard. It was wonderful seeing two ladies from church as well as one of the Pepperdine students pitching in all along the way. Daughter was a BIG help, doing more than was ever asked. The Geneva women made a great team for logistics while the women from Lille, France prepared the program.
After several trips to the train station and a time of waiting/fellowship, two of the Parisians camped at our place for the night. We also met up with two Pepperdine girls for a day-late Groundhog Day film party (in French: Day without end).
How ‘bout you? See your shadow on Saturday?
