COUNT IT ALL JOY!

Spend a day with the Women of Skokie Valley! Back for our 3rd Annual Women's Connection Retreat, come and find refreshment for your heart, mind, body and soul through worship, biblical teaching, fellowship, warm homemade food and more! We will learn what it means to count it all joy from James 1:2-4, 12. 

"Is it possible to experience joy amidst pain and hardship? It sounds like a contradiction, doesn’t it? However, James, the half-brother of Jesus affirms joy in suffering saying, “Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds. . .”

The women’s retreat will address this biblical paradox. We will discover the “joy of the Lord” is our strength, regardless of our circumstances and explore the truth that because God is sovereign, wise, and good, He uses pain for His glory and our growth.

Join us to gain a biblical understanding of pain and suffering. It will equip you for personal joy and for ministering to others facing difficulties."
