“Lights, Camera, Action” – This was our slogan for the annual Eastmont Women’s Retreat held at Eagle Crest Resort the last weekend in February. Our Theme verse was Proverbs 31:30 “Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.”
The slogan and theme verse went hand-in-hand as our speaker, Barbara Feil, from Sunset Presbyterian Church in Portland, taught on the topic “Leading Ladies of the Bible”. The different life stories of Eve, Leah, Michal, Tamar, Deborah and Hannah touched each of us as we learned about their struggles and blessings and how God worked through each of their life stories.
Session topics were:
· IT ALL BEGAN WITH EVE - Eve
· REAL WOMEN, REAL PAIN, REAL REDEMPTION – Leah, Michal, Tamar
· WHAT WOMEN NEED – Hannah
· GOD USES WOMEN – Deborah
Each woman studied provided a significant story about how God still used her in the midst of imperfect situations. Barbara concluded with the personal application that as long as we are putting God first, continually seeking Him, He does work through all the unique situations and circumstances we face in our lives.
Our thanks to each one who helped with decorations, prizes, greeting, registration, power point, prayer team, worship team, communion, condo leader, etc. By the exercising of your gifts and talents in your gracious ways, God used you to make our 2009 retreat a memorable one.
