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, seek a deeper intimacy with Christ, and model His love, holiness, and fullness in a way that influences and shapes future generations.
​
Paul 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.”Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.’” (2 Corinthians 6:17-7:1).
​
How do we, as God’s beloved daughters, perfect holiness in the fear of God, and how does this help us to know Him? This retreat will offer space to wrestle with that question, and others, as we seek His heart. Together, we will ask:
-
How do we cleanse ourselves from the filthiness of the flesh and spirit in a world that constantly pulls us away from God?
-
What does it mean to live as a separated and holy people, fully embraced by the Father?
-
How do we walk in the fear of God (and what does that even mean), allowing His promises to transform every area of our lives?
-
How can I help future generations?
Through times of worship, teaching (to include group participation), and intentional personal reflection, alongside exercises designed to foster spiritual growth, this retreat will be a profoundly beautiful yet challenging journey. It will provide you with the opportunity to deeply examine your heart, confront areas of struggle, receive ministry, embrace authentic relationships, and leave better equipped to live fully to God.
We can’t wait for you to join us!
