Ladies, JCM is excited to announce that registration for our Spring retreat is now open!
​
The JCM women’s retreat, “Do You Know Me?: A Pursuit of Holiness,” is an invitation to step away from the noise of life to seek a deeper intimacy with Christ.
​
In 1 Peter we read, But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
Paul also writes, “Come out from among them, and be separate," says the Lord. "Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters," says the Lord Almighty. (2 Corinthians 6:17).
​
The topic of holiness is a central theme of the Bible, and a fundamental aspect of our Christian life, and yet, for many of us, it remains a bit of a mystery — an obscure concept. We want to help change that.
It’s one thing to learn about holiness, it’s another thing to live it out. At this retreat, we are going to do both. We are going to have times of teaching, to learn, and times of meaningful activities and practice to help you live it out. It’s going to be a very special time together.
Our prayer is that this will be a time of refreshing and renewal, and that by understanding God’s holiness, you leave with a deeper understanding of His profound love for you!
