“Living Out the Vertical in a Horizontal World” Women’s Retreat

Every person we encounter, whether it's the 'Far and Away' grocery store clerk or an 'Up Close and Personal' best friend, has the chance to see God through us. But are we living close enough to God for His light to shine through?

The women at Morning Star Church have planned an all women’s retreat entitled “Living Out the Vertical in a Horizontal World,” based on the book by author and featured speaker, Leigh Gray. Gray will introduce retreat attendees to those 'Far and Away' people, demonstrate how you can impact the lives of others, and also show where to find God when He seems 'Far and Away.’ A look at the 'Up Close and Personal' relationships with family and friends will help you take a deeper look at your relationship with the Lord.

The women’s retreat, open to the community for women of all ages and stages, is planned for Friday, April 27 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and Saturday, April 28 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Morning Star Church (1600 Feise Road, Dardenne Prairie). The cost is $40, which includes dinner on Friday as well as breakfast and lunch on Saturday.

Registration is available online at www.mscwired.org/retreat or by calling the church office at 636.561.5680.
