IPC Ladies Retreat in Adelboden, May 2007


I received the greatest Mother's Day gift from Jared and the girls this year: I got to go away for a weekend to attend the church women's retreat! It was a wonderful two days away from home where I got to relax, unwind and recharge. The retreat was held in Adelboden which was an incredibly beautiful village about 2.5 hours south of Zurich. Our speaker was Sandy Bradford from Wisconsin, and she delivered a message to encourage us as we strive to have a fresh relationship with the Lord. The key verse was Psalm 57:8a "Awake my soul!" During our free time, we were able to explore the village and all of its cute shops as well as having time to hike around and just enjoy the lovely surroundings and perfect weather. It was also a very special time to get to know so many other ladies from the church and to hear about their backgrounds and home countries. Definitely a blessing for me!
