The pressure is on to make our faith in Christ conform to what is palatable to our society. The degree to which we cultivate a deep walk with Christ will determine our resilience and our effectiveness at being light bearers in a dark world. Come and join us at Women's Retreat The Faithful Remnant May 17-19, 2024. Perhaps you were created for such a time as this. Esther 4:4
Women's Retreat 2024
Women's Retreat Speaker
Dawn Gould
Dawn and her husband, Dave, have served and lived at Mt. Gilead for the past 37 years. Dawn oversees the Women’s Ministries as well as the Marketing Department. Her heart is to lead with a firm grasp of the inerrant Word of God, a good dose of humility and an overflowing cup of humor.
Her passions are writing, photography, sewing, playing the guitar and gathering around the Word with her Bible Study Buddies. Her greatest joy is hanging out with family, particularly her grands Jeremiah and Everleigh.
Pre-Conference Luncheon
Theme: In Light of His Presence
Speaker: Dawn Gould
We often take for granted the presence of Christ in our lives, but his presence is powerful as it convicts us of sin, gives us courage when our knees are shaking, quiets our hearts when the way forward seems unclear and gives us comfort in the midst of our brokenness. Come join us as we learn the blessings of sitting with Jesus.
“When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.” Acts 4:13

Saturday Seminars
Track One: 9:50-10:50am
ANSWERED
The times we live in are at best perplexing. What does the Bible have to say about what is happening right now? What should I be doing during this time? Who or what can I trust? Come join us as we seek to explore Biblical answers to your questions.
Track Two: 11am-noon
EMBRACING
MOTHERHOOD
Being a mom is a 24/7 job full of challenges, joys and opportunities. Come join us as we discuss balancing our time, staying connected to Jesus and embracing those “God Moments” when we can impart our faith to our little ones.
TOXIC INFLUENCES
The Bible has a lot to say about what we allow to influence our thinking. So, what do we do when we find ourselves in relationships that are unhealthy and putting a wedge between us and the Lord. Come learn what the Lord has for us as we discern between life-giving and life-taking relationships.
SPIRITUAL WARFARE
Spiritual warfare is real and increasingly more prevalent. How can we know the difference between Biblical warfare and unbiblical warfare? Join us as we discover the power of Jesus as we yield to the Word of God rather than trying to power up over the enemy.
Expanded Seminar: 9:50am-12:00pm
UNPACKING GRIEF
Grief can come in a variety of forms such as the death of a loved one, a change in health, the loss of independence or the reversal of income. How do we feel and process the impact of loss without staying in a holding pattern of sorrow? Come join us as we delve into releasing our grief to the Lord.

PLEASE NOTE:
Our heart is to give women a break and provide for them a place to rest and relax, free from their usual responsibilities. To that end, we respectfully request that little ones remain at home so that moms and others attending the retreat can fully focus on what the Lord has for them and go home refreshed and encouraged. THANK YOU!
