WOMEN RETREATS
At retreat, women learn about service to others, women eat, women sing and worship and women pursue new interests. But what women do best at retreat is have fun connecting with their sisters in Christ from across the region.
Kansas Disciples Women sponsor two retreats each year – the two events run back-to-back with the same theme, speaker and interest groups. In 2009, the retreats made a major change, moving from the McPherson College campus to Disciples Center at Tawakoni near Augusta. The date also changed from August to October.
The 2010 KDW Retreats, "The Servant's Hands" will feature keynote speaker, Joyce Ferguson, Scott's Bluff, Nebraska. The retreats are scheduled for Oct. 6-8 and Oct. 8-10.
Retreat is planned by a volunteer leadership team which meets for two years prior to the retreats.
The committee includes the retreat coordinator, registration coordinator, programs coordinators for each retreat; a worship coordinator, arrangements coordinators for each retreat, a recorder/publicity
coordinator as well as ex officio members, including the KDW President, Cabinet Liaison and KDW Staff.
Registration forms are available here. If a first-time retreater needs financial assistance to attend the retreat, there is scholarship money available through the region’s Helen Schwab Retreat Scholarship Fund. This will provide up to one-half of the published registration fee. Application scholarship forms are available here.
