We all have a spiritual story to share. As we share stories of how God is moving in our lives, we relate those stories back to the life of Jesus Christ. We understand more and more the importance of choosing to know Jesus more as a way of getting through whatever we are doing and wherever we are going. Jesus patiently makes us aware of His presence and His call on our lives.

It is important to share stories of our life experiences: encouraging one another; listening to one another; sitting together and enjoying the company of one another without distractions, without busyness, without our everyday worries and stresses, and without being rushed. Sometimes in life, we need the encouragement, spiritual wisdom and insight of our friends to help us get back or stay on track with the direction that God is leading us.

God's fountain of grace is like refreshing waters. Sharing our stories is a way of worshipping God; stories open our eyes to see how God works and speaks to others. Those same stories help us learn more about God and grow closer to Him. When we open our lives and share our ups and downs with others, we share God's goodness, grace, forgiveness, and love with them in a way that touches their hearts and spirits. These are the kind of relationships that are truly bonded together in Christ. Dragonfly Ministries invites you to attend our Girlfriend Getaway designed to give you and your friends a chance to rest, relax and refresh your spirit by sharing your own story and listening to stories from other women of how God has worked in their lives to bring about change. (Sharing is optional but listening is a must.)

Cost is $135 per person and includes 2 nights lodging and 4 meals. Please enjoy dinner on your drive to Door County. Plan to arrive at Camp Zion anytime between 5 and 10 p.m. on Friday evening.
