Glen Burnie Evangelical Presbyterian Church
Women’s Retreat
“GRACE”
March 31-April 2, 2006
The Dunes Manor Hotel
Ocean City, Maryland
God's grace is a wonderful gift to humankind. Grace is God's love freely offered to us. God places a little spark of divine grace within us which enables us to recognize and accept God's justifying grace. When we experience God's justifying grace, we come into that new life in Christ. We do not do anything to "earn" grace.
John Piper said ”Wouldn’t it be a beautiful world if everyone lived without being prideful and realized that we deserve nothing. What if every trouble was received without grumbling and every pleasure was received with amazing thankfulness for grace?”
Join us for the 2006 Glen Burnie Evangelical Presbyterian Church Women’s Retreat as motivational speaker Beth M. Boyd reveals that God’s Grace is indeed sufficient for us. You’ll be inspired and encouraged as you hear from Beth’s heart how God ultimately brings us closer to Him through His gift of grace. Breakout sessions will provide the opportunity to explore this topic. It’s a life-changing retreat you won’t want to miss.
About our Speaker: Beth M. Boyd was one of the founding members of Glen Burnie Evangelical Presbyterian Church. She will share how she has experienced God’s grace in her life.
