Works Day 2002 - June 8, 2002 Robert Neuerman is Coming to Town! (Recipient of the RN Fund)

by Sylvia Johnson

I now am 80 years old and had never been to a retreat before. I really didn't know what I had been missing. Before I left home I almost canceled but because I knew how much it meant to my sister, and with God's help, I got there and was very glad I did. God really gave me the strength because He knew how much it would mean to me.

The grounds were beautiful like heaven and earth, because that is how I feel heaven would be. The food was excellent, like at home. Anyone that has not been on a retreat, and if Liz (The Rev. Liz Habecker) is preaching, you should really try to attend because she will make you feel like you are on a spiritual journey and God is beside you.

Before closing I would like to thank those who attended the retreat and showed such concern for me as I was not feeling well, bothered by a severe sinus condition. Thank you so much, especially for your prayers.

God's blessings always.
