Staten Island Women’s Retreat

Hands for Christ Community Church, a newly planted GCI congregation in Staten Island, New York, recently held its first women’s retreat. The 18 women who attended (some pictured below) shared a meaningful and insightful time.

The topic of discussion on Friday evening was Women of the Bible—letting God talk to his daughters and princesses. Each participant played the role of a woman in the Bible; seeking to see life through their eyes.

The topic on Saturday was What Is Sin? Related questions were addressed and participants jotted down some of their deepest struggles, tossing what they had written into a pit to be destroyed by fire. In this way, personal struggles were given over to God.

The event ended with communion, solidifying the women’s bond of fellowship and accountability.
