Ladies' Retreat

Ladies Retreat 2018 was a great success with 130 ladies from 20 of our churches in attendance. Once again, Becky Ek and her council did an excellent job. Worship was led by Melissa and Lauren Maynard from our Reed City Church. Debbie Alsdorf, the scheduled speaker was unable to attend due to medical issues. Cheryl Roland, wife of Dr. David Roland, District Superintendent of the Northeastern Indiana District, graciously accepted the last minute invitation to come. Cheryl’s talks were so practical and her joy was contagious. Most importantly her words were bathed in the word of God. The presence of the Holy Spirit filled our meeting times. Thank you Becky and the Women’s Ministry Council for your faithful service.
