Ladies Fall Retreat at
Lakeside Retreat Center in Seale, Alabama https://mylakesideevent.com/
This retreat, "Changing Chaos to Calm" will explore how God wants to teach us to rest and find peace in the midst of the chaos and confusion of this world. We'll discuss how our "hustle" culture can deceive us by promoting the idea that being busy equates to being successful and important.
The busyness of your life is reflected by a full calendar, endless emails, smartphone dependence, social media, entertainment, exercise, work, school, family and yes, church activities. Although these are good things, we must keep them in perspective and balance. We have to constantly fight against a culture that glorifies hyper-busyness. We wear it like a badge. When someone ask how we are doing, we often answer by saying,"I'm good, just busy".
These three days will fill your heart and reset your soul. We will enjoy a weekend of rest, reflection, fellowship, discussion, and encouragement through the uplifting teaching with Vanessa Reyner, a gifted author, speaker, and Bible teacher. She will provide attainable steps to reexamine your overcrowded life, one bite at a time, so you can hear God more clearly, experience more joy, love better, and become content with your surroundings and circumstances. https://www.vanessareyner.com
Jamie Bollinger is a worship leader, speaker, songwriter, and mentor with a heart fully devoted to the presence of God. She carries a powerful ability to stir hearts and shift atmospheres while leading us in worship. https://www.jamiebollinger.com
We will focus on learning how to BE STILL just as God teaches us in Psalm 46:10 to "Be still and know that I am God" instead of BE BUSY like the world tells us. Our schedules will become God-centered when we put Him first. Your calendar may be full but please don't be "too busy" and miss the opportunity to attend Forest Park's Ladies Fall Retreat on November 6-9, 2025. Come with us to identify opportunities to hear God's voice by turning down the volume of the world.
