2023 Fall Fun and Fellowship for Moms
Save the date for the 2023 NCHE Moms Retreat.
October 13-14
At Caraway Conference Center
Mark your calendars, call your friends and sign up now to join NCHE for a weekend full of fun and fellowship. This year’s moms retreat will take place October 13-14 at Caraway Conference Center near Asheboro, NC. Find out more about our location at www.carawayconferencecenter.com
We will gather on Friday afternoon and enjoy dinner together. After dinner, we will have an encouraging talk. To wind up the evening, we have reserved the fire pit area for s’mores and conversation. Saturday will include more encouragement from our speakers, a spa craft “make and take,” and after lunch a time of just fun relaxing activities from a group hike to board games and hobby time. Be sure and bring along your crochet, scrapbook, or favorite board game. You’ll have a chance to make new friends and maybe learn about a new pastime. Of course there will be giveaways too (who doesn’t love a prize). Nursing babies are welcome.
Moms Retreat Schedule
Friday:
4:30 Retreat check-in
5:30-6:30 Supper
7:00 Large group gathering and encouraging talk by Ronda Marshall, “Mary Homeschooling in a Martha World”—Balance, that’s what it is all about. Yet we live in a culture with the daily demands of a busy world, trying to do everything. Like Martha, we love Jesus and really want to serve Him through homeschooling our children, but we sometimes struggle with weariness, feelings of inadequacy and are overwhelmed by our responsibilities. The Lord will calm our anxious hearts and give us His extravagant love right in the midst of our circumstances, so that like Mary, we can keep first things first and choose God’s best for our families.
