BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY:
“[Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time] Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!”” -Matthew 20: 17-19 Listen to chapter

Ladies' Retreat, You Should Have Been There!

The Ladies' Retreat was a blast!  Smoky Mtn. Christian Villiage turned out to be a perfect place for our special weekend.  Several of the ladies commented how much they enjoyed getting to be together in a lodge.  We were able to spend lots of time getting to know each other. We overate, laughed until we cried, and played games in our free time.



Our speaker was exactly who we needed, and she had the perfect message for us.  It was all about learning to create margin in our lives, because it is in the margin that God speaks to us..when we are quiet and listening to his voice.


A big shout out to our very professional food preparation team, Paul and Sandy Vowell, and Larry Brammer.  Talk about organized!  Sandy even made a decorative, framed picture with the menus for each meal on it.  The food was so delicious and there was plenty of it!



Thank you to Angie Dishner and Carol Jennings for leading us in worshipful music.  Brandi Kisner and the ISBC Women's Ministry Performance Troupe entertained us with appropriate skits for each session.
