Come to the southern NM mountains to relax and refresh! This year we gather in Silver City for our annual ‘Pampering Retreat’. You are invited to come away, rest, and be rejuvenated by time with women from around the Diocese, and with our Lord, while acknowledging that we are Beloved and Beautiful Servants of our Living and Beautiful Savior. We’ll experience ways to honor, encounter, recognize, and share our relationship with our Lord as we take time to rest, reflect, and pamper ourselves.
- The retreat starts at 5:30 PM on Friday, July 24 with registration, dinner, worship and fellowship at Good Shepherd Church (615 N. Texas, Silver City).
- Saturday morning (July 25) activities will start at the church at 9AM.
- We’ll have dinner, evening fellowship and fun Saturday evening at the hotel. (If you really HAVE to go home, we’ll bid you a fond farewell around 4:00 PM.)
- Everyone is encouraged to stay for Sunday worship at Good Shepherd.
- There is something for everyone, whether you like active or quiet activities to help you relax and refresh (download the registration packet to get all the info).
- In keeping with our tradition of outreach at these retreats, we’ll collect toiletries, lotions, and other special beauty items for the women of the Borderlands Ministry in the Palomas and Anapura, Mexico areas. Over lunch we’ll hear from Susan Hutchins about the exciting plan to form Sister-to-Sister Partnerships between women of the Rio Grande and our sisters on the border.
