Peace. Be Still April 19th-21st
"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7
Join us April 19th-21st as we will seek to understand what stands in the way of our peace, how the Lord's authority brings peace and who is the Spirit of peace within us.

ARRIVAL AND CHECK-IN:
Please note! We have made a change to the check-in process. Please find us in the Sydney Suite for check-in. The Sydney Suite is a small stone building on your right when driving onto the Newks property. Find available parking and join us there.
Check-in is from 4:30 - 6:00 pm on Friday. We will enjoy hors d'oeuvres from 5:00 - 6:30 pm, and our first session begins at 6:45 pm. If you would like a more substantial meal before we begin, please grab something on the way.
When you arrive at your room after checking in, your bed will be designated. Please do not move those designations, as we've sought to accommodate each woman's needs and preferences to the best of our ability.
