 RTLC's Women's Retreats offer a great & fun-filled weekend of laughter, learning, great conversation and the opportunity to grow deeper in your faith & deeper in your relationships with one another.     ***SPRING 2008 RETREAT*** APRIL 10-13, 2008  INSPIRATION + BOLD FAITH + LEADERSHIP + WITNESS + DISCOVERY Are you a WILD WOMAN of faith? God intends you to be! Come to be inspired and empowered to step out in bold new faith adventures. We’ll study Wild Women of the bible and aspire to be like them! Deborah from the Old Testament and the sisters Mary and Martha in the New Testament will offer fresh models for leadership and witness. If you think you know these women, you just might be surprised! And then there’s Huldah - ever heard of her? Discover your own “leadership style” and listen for the ways that God is asking you to be no one but yourself. Story devotions and guided meditation will enliven our understanding and deepen our connection to the Holy One who calls and empowers us through faith. Creative worship will begin and end each day. Adult women of all ages will gain insight and excitement for the daily journey of faith. Bring your grown up daughters, your sisters, your mothers, your friends who feel like family – and discover a whole new set of relatives you’ve not yet met – including Biblical sisters itching to share their wisdom. This will be a weekend you won’t soon forget! WORSHIP & BIBLE STUDY LEADER Pastory Mary Canniff-Kuhn  Mary Canniff-Kuhn is an ELCA pastor living in the blue ridge mountains of North Carolina near Asheville. She and her husband have been the program directors of Lutheridge Camp and Conference Center for 14 years. They have three boys of their own and adopt about 100 college age staff each summer into the Lutheridge family. Pastor Mary is a painter, a potter and a storyteller. She’s been telling gospel stories for more than 30 years and has led workshops across the country encouraging creativity and storytelling. Twelve years ago, she began “Wild Women’s Weekends” at Lutheridge – a retreat to study the Wild Women of the Bible and aspire to be like them. These retreats now serve more than 500 women a year and are still growing. She is excited to visit the BIG mountains that we might empower and encourage one another.
