Life's just better when the girls get together
A Faith-Based Women's Retreat Designed to Rekindle Your Spirit and Faith
Join the Chick Chatter, a monthly e-zine
celebrating the friendship of women.
The women's retreat, 'Secrets of the Lily,'  is based on the words
Jesus spoke when He said,  "
Don't worry about your life . . .
Consider the lilies and how they grow . . . they don't fuss or
work at their appearance, but have you ever seen such
beauty?  Even Solomon, in all his worldly glory and
impressiveness, was not as beautiful as one of these!  
If God clothes a wildflower with incredible beauty, won't He
take care to do the same with you, His child?"

Finding Beauty . . . as women, we strive for it all our lives.  
Whether for our physical appearance, our relationships, our
homes, or our emotions, we find ourselves endlessly
searching for 'something' that will make our lives more
beautiful.  Trouble is, too often life buries us in ruined plans,
broken dreams, and heartbreaking losses, and anticipated
beauty sinks like an unawakened bulb, hopelessly imbedded in
life's dirt.  Will we ever really find the beauty in life that we are
hoping for?
But God is at work, ALWAYS at work, cultivating incredible beauty within us . . . something good, something
unbelievably wonderful, something that sprouts from the very dirt that we lie dormant
in.  'Consider the lily,' as Jesus advised, and see what secrets to beauty might be uncovered!
Through inspiring stories, poignant skits, laughter, great music, and motivating workshops, the
Secrets of the Lily Women's Retreat encourages women to 'rise from the dirt of life with radiant beauty!'

'Secrets of the Lily' is a one day, six-hour conference for women of all ages and backgrounds -- a
day of soul-refreshing' for girlfriends!  Hosted by a sponsoring church or organization, the event is
specially designed  to bring women together in an intimate setting, and at a lower cost, with less
travel expense or time away from home incurred.  Lunch, refreshments, beverages and chocolate
(of course!) is included in the retreat price.

This entire retreat is the creation of a team of women who are themselves in the 'cultivation'
process. Our experiences mirror those of so many others and  this girlfriend gathering is simply a way to
share the hope we have discovered with those who are 'buried' in similar settings.  All of the content of the
day is original -- including the music, the poetry, the skits, the workshops, and the program
materials -- born out of the life-situations we ourselves know well!
