Women's Retreat

I am the enrichment counselor in the Relief Society Presidency for our Ward. On Saturday we held a Women's Retreat at the Eden Wood Center and had a wonderful day enjoying the great outdoors and bonding as sisters. We also had a lot of laughs during our group activities after dinner. The night ended with a bonfire and sharing of testimonies.

A Renewal of Life
"...the inward man is renewed day by day."
2 Corinthians 4:16

Many enjoyed canoeing around the lake
Others enjoyed relaxing at the lodge playing games
Some went on a walk
Others talked
We had plenty of delicious food

A Bag of props + creative minds make for some great new versions of the Cinderella Story
We were all laughing for a solid 30 minutes as each of the 5 groups retold their version!

What a great party. It looks like a wonderful place to get out and get away. I loved the idea of the Cinderella skits, I bet they were fun. You do a great job!!

Looks like everyone had a great time. Once the word gets out that you can have a great time on your activities you will be packed with ladies wanting to participate!! Good food, fun and spiritual too!! What more can a girl want???
