Story of Woman: From Genesis to Revelation

For every woman, identity is important. The question, “who am I?” will haunt her every decision. Along the pathway of life, many will try to tell her who she should be. Discover again the old story of a beautiful identity, a tale of love and sacrifice. From the creative voice of God, though the death of a Savior, to walk of Wisdom, hear and remember the forgotten story of woman.

Cindy Koch is a wife and mother in Ventura, CA. She graduated from Concordia Irvine and earned an MA in exegetical theology from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. She has authored two books; Woman: The Forgotten Story, and Daughter: Our Story Remembered. She is a frequent blog contributor on thejaggedword.com, 1517.org, and hosts Family Style Theology Podcast featuring conversations with children about the theological topics.

You Matter

In our culture today, the value of every human life is the most important issue we face. Our intrinsic, unwavering value to our Creator affects the way we see God and how we approach the world around us. You matter. You’ve always mattered…and Jesus Christ in the proof.

She is passionate about youth and about being a voice of God’s truth in their lives, speaking nationally at youth gatherings, high schools, women’s events and more. Heather lives in Kingsford, MI with her husband Matt and her children Bella, Paul, and Sofia.

Dress for these weekends is casual — this is your time to unwind and leave your daily routine behind. Please arrange to have all children and spouses cared for at home. We will conduct our own Sunday morning worship, so leave heels and hose at home, too! Guests will want a sweatshirt or jacket for evenings, and jeans or shorts for daytime activities. Don’t forget to bring your suit for sunning or swimming.

Throughout the weekend, Women’s Retreat Coordinator Pat Maier and the guest presenters will share stories, lead discussions, and facilitate Bible study in large-and small groups.

Check-in is on Friday between 4 and 7:30. Dinner will be provided at either 5:30 pm or 6:30 pm depending on your dining time. The welcome and evening program begins at 7:15 pm at the Chapel on the Beach. The evening ends with social time on the patio. Following a served breakfast in the morning are speaker sessions and breakout sessions. A “take out” lunch is provided for you to enjoy at Camp or somewhere in the local area! Free time for several hours in the afternoon is the perfect opportunity to read, enjoy the beach, or take a well-deserved nap! Dinner is served at 5:30 pm or 6:30 pm and an evening session, singing and campfire fill our time! Check-out is after Bible study, worship and take out lunch on Sunday afternoon.
