What
it means to us!
|
| "We have been coming to
the retreat since about 1979. I am a teacher and the retreat is a
time to get away from the world and focus on us, as well as refresh
our relationship with God above. We enjoy the music, the messages,
and the small group time. The food is good, too." |
| "I have told lots of people it was the best thing I ever did for my marriage. Sandy Cash was just what I needed to give me a different view point on life, relationships and how men are so different from woman.WOW it was an eye opener for me. I really came home a new and improved person much nicer and more tolerant of my husband and his feelings. I want to say again how much we enjoyed it and how meaningful it was for me especially" |
| "We have attended all but one or two retreats since we began. We look forward to what each music group and guest speaker has prepared for us. Each is different, but each has a message for us. We have gained something from each retreat.Each guest leader has his gift to offer whether it is a bible lesson, marriage building lesson or dramatic presentation. We can benefit from each leaders gift. We have had many music groups which were excellent with a spiritual message. Couples should come to the retreat in order to have time together away from other responsibility, to grow spiritually, and to grow in their relationship. Couples should attend every retreat. It has been noted by many speakers that couples need to have a weekend a year devoted to marriage/spiritual growth." |

"The Couples' Retreat this year was
wonderful! We began attending the retreat in September of 1986.
The singers were the Revelation Singers and I absolutely loved them.
They really touched my heart. After that retreat, Billie Collins
and Ann Calhoun and I sat in on a Women's prayer meeting and I accepted
the Lord as my Savior. That retreat will always mean more to me
than anyone can know. Jean and Jo, they are absolutely an inspiration
to us all! They sing songs that we can all enjoy and never tire
of. They really do set the tone for getting closer to your mate
and the lord. Before coming to our very first retreat, I had never
taken part in really prasing the Lord because I must face it, I
wasn't saved, but even when I wasn't saved, they really made me
feel comfortable and okay to praise the Lord just by the smile on
Jean's face in front of everyone. |
| "Jean and Jo are such God filled women. The little song about getting a kiss from your mate was soooooooooo timely for us last fall. We were not really speaking to each other all the way down to the retreat and after we got there. Not until that song and as soon as we turned to each other to get the "kiss from your mate" the walls came tumbling down. That song will forever have a special place in my heart." |
| "I think my favorite retreat was with Salt & Light. I was very moved by his portrayals. Evidently, I'm a "visual" person. As for Jean and Jo....they're great. Jo plays beautifully and Jean's spirit is truly uplifting!! Tommy does a great job leading the retreats and doing all of the preparations. I wish EVERYONE would give the retreat a try. I feel most everyone would find "something for them" at the retreats and would make some true and lasting friendships." |
| "We have No favorite retreat, they just get better and better. The guest leaders have been excellent and the music is very good with a nice variety. Jean and Jo are an inspiration to us all with their dedication. The food and accommodations are fine and we are blessed indeed to have Tommy and his wife Carolyn to be our spirit spiritual leaders. Others should come because this is one christian function that is centered around a man and his wife together worshiping God. What a joy to serve and be served communion with your spouse." |
| "Retreat is a time to come together with friends we have met throughout the year and also meet new friends. Retreat means a time to get away and be able to develop better marriage skills. We hate to miss any of these retreats." |
