Women's Retreat

The Firs recognizes the deep need for women of all ages to be encouraged and equipped in their faith. Every spring and fall at The Firs Conference Center in Bellingham, Washington, these retreats are designed to inspire women to see themselves, their families, marriages, and relationships, transformed. Each retreat presents solid teaching from God's Word and a choice of workshops that support the weekend's theme. There will be a good deal of fun and fellowship, all culminating in a closing communion worship service.

Perhaps best of all, someone else does all the cooking and cleaning!

 "This was a wonderful time of blessing, fun and relaxation; food for the body, soul and spirit."      ~ Anonymous

The Firs Fall Women's Retreat

October 22-24, 2010

 

"A Piece of the Puzzle:  The Story of Esther"

 

We are excited to have Denise Brewer return as our speaker for the 2010 fall retreat. Last year she inspired us as we explored women in the Bible through the book of Ruth. This year Denise will continue her presentation on women in the Bible, as we look through the book of Esther. Denise combines her rich background in history and her training as a Precepts Bible teacher, in order to present us with a gift from God’s Word. Arlene Overman will again bless us with her beautiful and inspiring music. The whole team is praying that you will be embraced by God’s love and presence as you join us for The Firs Fall Women’s Retreat.

    

Denise Brewer

Our speaker, Denise Brewer is a world history professor, with an emphasis in ancient civilizations, and a Precept Bible Study Teacher. She says that history is her love, but Scripture is her passion. When she gets to combine the two, as she will for the study of Esther, it is a double treat. Denise is an Army wife, who has moved fourteen times in the last 25 years, and feels blessed that in all her moves the Lord continues to provide different opportunities to speak, teach, write e-devotionals, and work in women’s ministries. Denise and her husband, Christion, and daughter, Kaitlin, along with their two persnickety bunnies, are currently stationed in Pensacola, Florida

  

Arlene Overman

Arlene will again lead music and worship for the Fall Women's Retreat. Arlene and her husband, Bob (in photo), met at Western Washington University, while pursuing music degrees, and have served on staff in music ministry at a variety of churches over many years. They home school their three children in Victoria, B.C. They lead worship at various conferences, throughout the year, and currently lead worship monthly at their home church.
