Unhindered! - A Weekend of Spiritual Renewal And Equipping for Associational WMU Leaders

Unhindered! This is the theme for the next two years in Woman’s Missionary Uni on. But, are we really unhindered or just trying to “keep our heads above water”? Because associational WMU leaders are busy people who may struggle at times to keep their relationship with God a priority, we have planned retreats just for you.

Because the basis of all we do should be our relationship with God, we feel this is an important focus for us as we begin the next two years of the theme “Unhindered!” and begin our next Project Help focus – Human Exploitation. These retreats will not only give the training you need to do your job, but they will also be interspersed with times of spiritual renewal as we examine our relationship with God.

Attending all of the retreats will give a total experience, but we also realize that some associational leaders may have circumstances that will only allow for a shorter amount of time. With that in mind, we have planned most of the training time to be on Saturday from 10:00 to 2:00. The spiritual renewal times will be on Friday evening and on Saturday morning from 9:00 until 10:00.

Please join us as we discover what it means to be “Unhindered”!

Individual conferences led by Leadership Network members will be provided for:

• Associational Preschool Consultants (includes Mission Friends)
• Associational Children Consultants (includes Girls in Action and Children in Action)
