Women
Our Women’s Ministry seeks to connect women to Jesus Christ and also other women in our church. We strive to encourage one another, provide opportunities for service, and help each other grow in a relationship with Christ without overburdening women with countless programs and events.
The following opportunities are open to all women who attend Cross of Christ and their friends.
W.o.W. Retreat
“Oh how I wish I had wings like a dove, then I would fly away and rest!” Psalm 55:5-7 NLT
Can you relate? If so it is time to get away. Our Worn out Women’s retreat is scheduled for November 10th -12th 2006, at the Historic Hassayampa Inn, located in Downtown Prescott.
We’ve planned this retreat with you in mind. That means plenty of free time to shop and break out sessions which include; massages, paraffin wax hand treatments, beading, and of course chocolate!
Lodging, meals, snacks, crafts, massages, a W.o.W t-shirt and other fun surprises are included in the cost of the retreat; $225.00. We want every woman to be able to attend; therefore scholarships are being offered for women, who at this time need a little financial help. Please contact Lee for additional scholarship information.
