We all know something about friendship. Whether we have a booming list of contacts or a seething list of grudges, we’ve got some experience. But does that mean we have it all figured out? Could our friendships be better—with spouses? in-laws? grown children? God?
Carol Pope and Suzanne Nelson—members of Perimeter Church in Atlanta, long-time friends and encouragers of women—will lead our retreat. Please come connect, refresh and learn how your relationships can flourish in a busy world. Cost: double room, $120; single room, $150; Saturday only, $65. Registration deadline: Wednesday, Feb. 8. Please visit HERE for more details and to register.
