What an AWESOME time we had at Girls Getaway 09!! Girls of all ages took time aside in the first weekend of November to come together for a weekend at El Rancho.

There was a whole lot of laughter, fun, and incredible GOD TIME shared. This year we even had some ladies from Shannon New Life join with us which was so great :)

We had the privelege of having Pastor Julie Steele ministering to us over the weekend and everyone was so blessed as she encouraged us to lay things down before God; challenged us to continually build the altars of our heart and taught on how to live in Faith, Hope and Peace. A whole lot of pearls of wisdom and experience was imparted!!!!!

After the Friday night session we enjoyed chocolate fondue together and watched a light-hearted, girly movie "Confessions of a Shopaholic" which was made complete with popcorn & treats in our own goodie bags.

On Saturday afternoon the ladies from Otaki ran "The Amazing Race" and had us running around El Rancho in search of clues, each leading us closer to the finish line. At each clue there were physical & mental challenges we had to complete, some of which left us a little wet!!! 

On Saturday night we had an amazing time of worship followed by some powerful ministry time. It was great to see everyone respond and take a stand for change in their own personal walks with God and be ministered to in a special way by the Holy Spirit.

If you weren't there this year, we really encourage you to make it a priority next year. Girls Getaway 2010 will be one you don't want to miss!!!! Get your registrations in early for an unforgettable weekend!!!!
