Moms and Daughters Retreat

May 4-6, 2012

 

Sometimes our busy lives prevent us from developing the relationships that really matter.  Take a weekend off and enjoy fun activities, quality bonding time and meet new friends.  Don't let the name fool you; aunts, nieces, grandmas and granddaughters are all welcome.

 

Weekend Schedule

The weekend kicks off on Friday evening with check-in, a large group session and a snack.  Saturday starts off with breakfast, followed by workshops and another large group session before lunch.  Lunch is followed by activities and free time.  Dinner, a large group session and a theme event round out the day.  The weekend wraps up Sunday morning with breakfast and a closing large group session.  

 

Speakers and Music

Our main speaker this year is Liz Verhage.

 

Liz Mosbo VerHage is an adjunct professor, writer, speaker, pastor, wife and mom.  She has loved her varied professional work, which has included positions with congregations, leading outreach ministries, community organizing and writing curriculum series. Liz attended North Park University and Seminary, was ordained in 2006, and recently completed a Ph.D. in Theology and Ethics from Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. Her academic study interests include the mission of the church, Evangelical ethics, spiritual formation, and race and justice issues. She also serves as chair of the Christian Action Commission and helps lead Racial Righteousness weekends and “Sankofa” Journeys for the Covenant denomination. Liz, her husband Peter, and their three-year old daughter live on Chicago’s northside and enjoy attending Ravenswood Covenant Church, biking to their favorite gelato store, and gardening.

 

We are also excited to have a Worship band from North Park University this year.
