That is how Tauren Wells describes God s grace in his song Known. Powerful lessons from Ladies Retreat emphasized being KNOWN by God, yet loved in spite of our sins. In a symbolic exercise we had the opportunity to leave our burdens at the well; we wrote them out and put them in a well. The retreat committee has since prayed for every woman at the retreat. We are committed to continuing to pray specifically for each of you! If you were unable to be at our retreat in January, but would like to be added to our prayer list, please let one of the retreat committee ladies know. It is a privilege to go before our Father and pray for each other! We also encourage you to be watching for the studies this fall which will be coordinated between Tuesday Morning and Wednesday Night Ladies Classes and the 2019 Retreat. We pray we will all move toward being able to rest in God s ridiculous grace.
