Planning a Women's Retreat -- Why Settle for a Weekend Getaway

DALLAS, May 19 /Christian Newswire/ -- Wonder Full World Women's Ministry Retreat Kit, the newest retreat kit for women from Group Publishing, Inc., offers an affordable, fun-filled, interactive experience for churches of any size and budget. The retreat kit equips churches to create an experience for the women of their congregations using the talent of their own members rather than having a speaker come in for the weekend. It's an imaginative journey around the world and an exploration of the "I wonders" in a woman's heart through in-depth Bible study, an unforgettable worship experience, and an open invitation for girlfriends to draw closer together and experience the vastness of God's love.

"One of the most important aspects of the creative process at Group is the research. We do focus groups with women all over the place, with both the women who love retreats and those who hate retreats. We are intentional in creating a retreat to meet the needs of many women, and what those women tell us is that they want to be able to talk and make friends, not just sit and listen," says Amy Nappa, Group's executive editor and champion for women's ministry.

With a Group retreat kit, churches have access to all the resources they need to lead a retreat and the opportunity to encourage the women in their own congregations to fulfill the leadership roles.

For $99.99, churches will receive everything they need to host the retreat, including a director's guide, a worship leader's guide, a custom CD with eight songs, seven leader's guides (one for each session), a training and promotional DVD with three commercials, a CD-ROM with graphics and other resources, and travel themed audio tracks for each session. The kit also contains samples of the essentials and gifts for each participant attending the retreat. The basic cost for materials per participant is between $13.50 for the essentials (journal, charm, and service project) and $21.00 (which includes the essentials as well as a music CD and tote bag). Like Group's VBS curriculum, each women's retreat includes a service project. This year, participants will make fleece blankets to be sent around the world to those in need.
