Have you ever wondered about the real meaning of God’s Grace? How deep is it? How can I recognize it?
The Congregational Care Committee of the Niskayuna Reformed Church, together with the Women’s Fellowship Group is planning a day-long Retreat titled “Got Grace?” for Saturday, March 23, 2019 beginning at 9:00 am until about 2:30 pm.
The retreat will be led by Judith Hugg, author of two books on Grace, “To See the Sky: Vignettes of Grace,” and “Let it Be a River: Grace Overflowing.” Judith will explore with us where God shows up in each of our lives and how we can open our eyes to see the gifts that God can impart, even in the darkest of times.
The day will include a variety of meaningful and interactive components, thoughtful discussion, a special luncheon, and will conclude with a time of worship and communion.
Advance registration is requested and can be handled by contacting Sharon Jackson (sej832@aol.com) or Sue Felpel (lsfelpel@yahoo.com), or the church office. There is a minimal fee of $8.00 to cover the cost of materials and lunch. We would ask that registrations be made as soon as possible, but not later than Monday, March 18.
It is not necessary to read the Judith’s books before the retreat, but for those who wish to do so, you can check with Sue Lichtig ( suel525@aol.com ), who has a few available. They will also be available for purchase ($10.00 per book) at the retreat.
