Sixth Annual Rest, Refreshment, and Renewal Day for
Women
Saturday, March 17, 2012
9 am - 4:00 pm
Registration Fee: $40.00
(includes refreshments and lunch)
“A Great Cloud” is the theme for LTSP’s annual Rest, Refreshment and Renewal Women’s Day 2012.
We will celebrate the 300th birthday of Henry Muhlenberg, the patriarch of the Lutheran church in North America, and the great cloud of women witnesses from Katie Luther to Anna Muhlenberg to all women who will gather on Saturday, March 17th.
This is your day to rest your body, refresh your spirit, and renew yourself as you return to your daily callings. Participate in worship and gatherings if you wish, or bring a book, craft work, music player; pray using the labyrinth; explore our beautiful campus and bookstore; find a place to rest by yourself or with others. Search out Muhlenberg artifacts in the Lutheran Archives Center at LTSP and be part of a play highlighting Anna Muhlenberg and Katie Luther.
Women of all faith traditions are invited and welcomed! Bring a friend or two in need of a day of rest, refreshment and renewal!
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us” Hebrews 12:1
What’s new!
“Great Cloud Gallery"
You are invited to bring a picture of or a creation made by a woman in your life who is a part of the Great Cloud of Witnesses. Bring photographs, pottery, poetry, writings, craft work, and more - to place on display in our “Great Cloud Gallery."
Mini Spas Kits for the Women of The Welcome Church
You are invited to make a mini spa kit filled with items such as sewing kits, deodorant, nail care products, hand cream, small mirrors, chocolate, small address books, and other small “luxuries”. They could be packaged in pretty make up bags. This would be very special and a treat, offering refreshment and renewal to the women of The Welcome Church, a church without walls that serves persons experiencing homelessness in Center City Philadelphia.
