Experience, Grow, Share
In the space of a weekend, Chapelwood’s Women’s Retreat provides women of all ages
with what they often need most – a time to disconnect, relax, recharge, draw closer to
God, and spend time with old and new friends. Here are testimonies from four
women who attended the retreat for the first time last year.
In February of 2014 I attended the Chapelwood
Women’s Retreat. I enjoyed speaker Jessica
LaGrone’s teaching of the Biblical families. I
immediately identified myself with Joseph,
specifically in the way the Lord used him to
unite and bring his family closer to the Lord.
I truly enjoyed the small group discussions,
the diversity of women that attended, and the
activities that allowed me to reflect on the Lord.
I look forward to another amazing experience in
the 2015 retreat.
Haidee Carrillo – Esperanza
The Women's Retreat was a great chance to step
away from the daily triumphs and struggles of
caring for a toddler and see God's perspective of
the bigger picture of my life. It was a spiritually,
mentally, and physically refreshing weekend. I
reconnected with old friends and made a few
new friends. And when else could I say that I
napped and got a massage in one weekend?
Meredith Sealy –
Moms on the Grow UMW Circle
The Women's Retreat was an amazing
experience. I truly enjoyed the speaker, the
fellowship with other women, and the quiet
times alone. As a new member of Chapelwood,
the retreat allowed me to meet new people as
well as quietly spend time with God. I was able
to fill my spirit and purify my heart.
Cherri Washington – Upper Room
I was one of the many “first-timers" at the
Women's Retreat last year in February. Through
the years, I had always thought about going
but something always seemed to come up or I
always had a reason to not go. A good friend of
mine from church and Bible study mentioned
that she'd like to go and that we could be
"roomies." I decided, "Why not?" My boys and
husband were supportive of me going and able
to handle everything at home fine without me.
Once I checked in, it was like a mini-reunion of
friends I’d grown up with in the church: women
I’d known from teaching children’s Sunday
School through the years, from JOL Bible
study, from my own Wesley Choir days, and
just women that I'd always looked up to.
I felt God’s presence everywhere! I loved the
speaker sessions, the interaction with other
moms and friends during discussion times,
the fun social time at meals and free time and
I loved the prayer stations. I felt God pulling
me closer to Him throughout the weekend and
rejuvenating my walk with Him. I am excited
to go back this year and experience the peace,
love, and joy that I felt and know you'll feel too
if you go on the retreat!

Leader: Our help is in the name of the Lord our God,

With God’s help we will proclaim the good news and live
according to the example of Christ. We will surround these
children with a community of love and forgiveness that they may
grow in their trust of God, and be found faithful in their service
to others. We will pray for them, that they may be true
disciples who walk in the way that leads to life.
People: Who comes to our aid in times of need,
who gives us the courage to do what we know is right.
Leader: God invites us to turn away from the influences of the
world around us and confess Him alone as Saviour and Lord.
All: This is our God! Let us worship together.
