Ninth Annual WMPC Women's Retreat
The sleet was falling and the rain was freezing, but the fireplaces at the Grandover Hotal in Greensboro provided warmth and a place to gather. Co-chairs Lillian Poole and Carolyn Younger were supported by a strong committee in planning and implementing the events of the weekend.
Nearly 150 women attended the retreat for fellowship, worship, Bible study and relaxation. The speaker for the event, Eugenia Gamble, tried twice to fly out of San Francisco but was grounded by fog. With the wonders of technology, Cheryl Logan and Josie Hall were able to bring Eugenia to the video screen live and in person. It speaks a lot to her gifts that she was able to hold our attention from 3,000 miles away! On Saturday, thanks to Debbie Pappas, we were able to package 130 health kits for Church World Service. The offering for the retreat was designated for disaster relief, and $3,000 was collected. The Presbyterian Women at WMPC will add another $2,000 to the total, so we can say that the group has made a substantial contribution to disaster relief.
Next year will celebrate the tenth year of the Women's Retreat, so plan on being part of the celebration.
