Bible-Reading Retreat, August 16–18

Set aside the weekend of August 16–18 for an extended time reading God’s Word aloud . . . together!

The Basics:

We’ll meet in a home in suburban Chicago for a weekend in God’s Word—Numbers, Joshua, Luke, Acts, and part of the Psalms! You’ll enjoy the fellowship of other women and a time of quiet away from the noise of the world. No stress, no cooking, no obligations, just time with the Lord and others who love Him.

Lodging:

On site lodging is currently full. Locals, you can commute!

The Number:

Eight to Twelve

We’ll read in small groups of four or five people per group and switch up groups throughout the weekend.

The Cost:

$100 covers everything. If you want to give more to help support ongoing ministry, please let me know and I’ll send a link where you can make a tax-deductible donation.

The Next Step:

While this is by invitation only, please reach out to me if there is someone you would like to invite to join us.
