Spend a Day with Like-Minded Sisters
A sister in Christ went through a life changing experience. She realized the need for support from a sister; however, in her congregation, she could not find just the right sister who would listen to, and understand her situation, without being judgmental and/or showing empathy. She turned to a secular counselor who helped her through her situation. She came out stronger, and back in stride with her Christian walk. However, It bothered her, being a strong Christian, that she could not find the support she needed within the sisterhood. It seemed much harder for a struggling sister.
She decided she was not going to sit in a pew and "pretend" the world was not tugging at our sisters. She knew there was a sister in Christ who could have helped her. God has planted sisters in this area to conquer any disaster the world throws at us. That sister may not be in your congregation, but she may be in the congregation across town. BUT, we won't know that if we don't get to know one another. The Lectureship Retreat is designed to bring us together (spiritually and physically). If we are around each other, we get to know each other, and we bond and grow together, all while glorifying God . And doing so will help build stronger women, stronger families, stronger congregations; and the world will know we are Christians by our love!
