A Sneak Peek at the Fall Retreat!

Yesterday, Jennifer Nelson, Allison Perry, and me and three of my children went down to Lakeview Conference Center in Waxahachie.  This is the site of our Heart 2 Heart Women's Ministry fall retreat.  For the past three years, we have gone to Prothro Center in Pottsboro, but I found this facility a couple of years ago and had wanted to try it out. We went to check out our rooms and the amenities of the facility, and we were not disappointed.  One of the comments that we heard from the ladies in the past is that they wanted more outdoor/physical activities.  I am pleased to report that we will have lots of activities for those of you who want more physical challenges.  For those of you who want to relax and take a nap--well, those rooms are pretty nice, too!

Let's start our tour, shall we?

This is McDonnell Lodge, where we will be staying.  We will also be having our lessons in the Lone Star room on the second floor.  You'll register here, in the common room directly across from those main doors you see under the porte cochere'.

Here is one view of the common room.  You'll notice a kitchen to the right of the television, in case you'd like a little snack. 

Jesse and Lily have graciously offered to model in one of the rooms, to show you the comfort of the beds.  As you can see, the rooms have queen size beds, so if you plan to share with more than one friend, make sure you're ok with sharing a bed. : )

Hungry?  This is Bridges Dining Hall, where we will be enjoying our meals together. 

And here is the inside of Bridges Dining Hall.  They've re-done this space, and as you can see, the buffet line is generous.  I hear the food's good, too!

Want more?  In my next post, I'll preview some of the outdoor areas and the activity center.  I'll also give you a little more information on what we'll have going on at the retreat.  Don't forget to register!  We are over half full already.  The retreat will be October 8-10, so the weather should be nice.  Even if it isn't, we'll still have lots of options.  To register, simply sign up at the women's ministry bulletin board in the main hallway near the restrooms.  You can also pick up a registration form at the welcome center.  Or, contact me and I will send you the forms you need.  Don't miss it!

May God's richest blessings flow over you,

Jennifer
