Women’s Winter Retreat

Restoring our Connection with God...Others...Ourselves

March 18-20, DoubleTree Hotel, Lancaster, PA

We are now at full capacity. Please contact the retreat team at (womensministries@millingtonbaptist.org) or call the church office (908.647.0594) if you would like to be put on a waiting list.

MBC’s Women’s Ministry is excited to invite women to a special weekend of reflection, retreat, rest, and restoration in the heart of Amish Country.

 

It’s hard out there in the big wide world and often in our own hearts and homes.  If your soul needs a long, deep breath and your hope yearns to be restored, we invite you to explore these gifts that God longs to lavish on you at our women’s retreat.

 

“I will restore the years that the swarming locust has eaten…” (Joel 2:25)


“This retreat will mark 2 years since the shutdown. Our hearts have been shattered; but maybe, just maybe, instead of us viewing our hearts as broken apart, we can view them as God providing a space for us where our hearts are broken open…to Him, to others, and to ourselves.” 

Lodging & Meals: The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Lancaster, PA

We’ve provided a few different lodging options for you to review and consider before completing your registration. Early Bird = prior to February 16.

 
A. Early Bird Double Room: $250 per person for 2 people /room, 2 nights. Includes all activities except optional “David” ticket. Register before February 16. (Choose this option if you would like to share a room.)
B. Early Bird Single Room: $400, 1 per room, 2 nights. Includes all activities except optional “David” ticket. Register before February 16. (Choose this option if you would prefer not to share a room. Same rate applies.)
C. Early Bird Pay with Points: I would like to use Hilton Honors or other points to pay for my lodging. I will pay MBC $70.00 for additional retreat cost. (If you choose this option, please provide your Hilton Honors or other points number during your registration process.)
D. Post Feb. 16 Make My Own Reservation: Will make my own hotel reservation at the hotel’s STANDARD RATE and pay MBC $70.00 for additional retreat cost. (Choose this option if you are making your reservation after Feb. 16.)
 

*Retreat costs include: Lodging for 2 nights, Friday & Saturday refreshments, Saturday & Sunday breakfast, Saturday lunch. (Friday & Saturday night dinners are on your own.)

Esther Goetz

About Esther: I was born and grew up a missionary kid in war-torn Ethiopia.  I now live in rural New Jersey in a house surrounded by perennial gardens where you will find me digging in the dirt or basking in the glory of it all.

 

When I’m not on a date with my husband of 30 years, I’m writing, watching crime shows, figuring out the cures for all the world’s problems with a friend, or being a mom to four grownish kids and one adorable preschool grandson. 

 

I have a fierce passion to restore hope for the sacred space where our hearts and our homes meet. This includes faith, marriage and motherhood.

 

My husband wrote this haiku for me and it’s who and what I hope to be and share with you:

 

Alive to passion.

Inside beautiful outside.

To Christ she is true.
