S.H.A.P.E. Retreat!

Beltway Women is hosting the SHAPE Retreat next week, October 25-26, at Big Country Camp in Lueders, and you are invited!

This is a wonderful opportunity for women to discover their God-given spiritual gifts.  It is our belief
that each member of the Body of Christ has been gifted and is mandated by Scripture to be a minister.  Our purpose for this retreat is to prepare you for the works of service that God has ordained for you so that the Body may be built up.

So why do we call it the SHAPE?  Well, each letter represents an aspect of your life that we will be discussing…Spiritual Gifts, Heart (or passions), Abilities (or natural talents), Personality, and Experiences (your life experiences).  All these things combined create your unique SHAPE, and help to determine what God intends to do in your life.  Understanding the purpose you were created for is part of the secret to knowing God’s will for your life!  God is consistent in His plan for each of our lives.  He would not give us inborn talents and temperaments, spiritual gifts, and all sorts of life experiences and then not use them.  By looking at who God created you to be, you can discover the ministry God has for you…the unique way God has shaped you and intends you to serve Him and His body.

The SHAPE Retreat is one of our smaller retreats, and a favorite of our leadership team.  There are only 50 spots available for first time guests, and this makes the setting more intimate, and creates an opportunity for women to get to know each other better.  Aspects of the SHAPE weekend include worship, testimonies from other women who have previously attended, teaching and assessments over spiritual gifts, a personality test, small group discussion, fellowship and even a scavenger hunt!  We will even discuss ministries and places of service for you to connect upon your return.  We desire for you to put your gifts to use to glorify God!

We ask that only regular attenders or Beltway members attend the SHAPE retreat since it is our hope to connect you into the ministries that Beltway Park offers.  The cost of the retreat is $40 and you can register online at this link.  (We will meet at Beltway Park Friday afternoon at 4:30 PM, and leave by 5 PM traveling by bus to the Big Country Camp.  We will return to Beltway by 6:30 PM on Saturday.  Registration includes motel type rooms with A/C and bedding, and 3 meals.)  Register soon, because we only have about 10 spots left!!

We hope to see you there!

Guest Post-The Importance of the Secret Place

This week, our guest blogger is Hannah Holmes.  Hannah is a stay at home mom with a passion to write and share the love of Jesus wherever she goes.  Hannah has served on the Women's Vision Team in the past and is currently serving on the worship team, healing and prayer team and several other ministries.  She is a gifted musician and loves spending time with The Lord as He unlocks His deepest mysteries in her heart.  You can find Hannah at www.hannahboneholmes.com The Importance of the Secret Place There was once a time when I thought my “ Quiet Time ” with the Lord  had to fit into a prescribed method.  In fact, when I heard about people who avidly set aside time in their “prayer closet,” I always wondered how they did things.  What was the magic structure that made the time  right  before God ? Was it, like…: 3 minutes – reading daily devotional 14 minutes – reading the Bible 8 minutes – praying, (using the ACTS method, of course!!) ADORATION (15 seconds)
