THANK YOU!
And a special Thank you to those who trusted us
with their time to attend- without YOU-- There is no Retreat!
Your presence blessed us!
And with life circumstances we missed our dear friends-
Shelly Thress with the death of her father in law
Karen Olson with the death of her father
Ruth Schnepp in her support of her daughter Karen
Linda Miller in her support of Ellen Thress and family
and Marie Flahn with her travels-
who all had planned to be with us.
May you join in these retreat photos
and still join us on the journey of
Counting 1000 Gifts
and
Finding Joy Right Where We Are.
The Joy of the Lord is my strength!
Nehemiah 8:10
