Bible-Reading Retreat, August 25–27, 2026

Last year we found Janice in Nebraska, this year come to Illinois and meet Honey as we focus on . . .

The Wisdom and Love of God

The Basics:

You’ll make your own travel arrangements and overnight accommodations. We’ll have rooms blocked at The Hampton Inn and Suites in Libertyville [give us a day or two and we’ll include the link right here] or you can pick a location of your own! We’ll meet at my house in Gurnee for meals and all of our organized time together.

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 one another . . . and, of course, Honey!

Your hostess . . . Honey Gillaspie, age 2.

The Number:

Whoever can get here from our morning group, plus a few local ministry partners and friends.

****Please comment below if you’re coming and RSVP at the link below.****

We’ll read in small groups of four, five, or six (for Job!) people per group and switch up groups throughout the retreat.

The Cost:

None to you for the retreat and food. You’ll cover your own travel and lodging.

Beyond that, give as the Lord leads to help support on-going ministry.

Next Steps:

• RSVP.

• Email Mary Ann at Maryann@pamgillaspie.com or me with any questions and with any food allergies, etc.
