Get Ready, Ladies

Back by popular demand, it’s time for another Scandinavian Women’s Retreat. Here’s what you need to know about the event.

From May 1st to May 3rd (Friday to Sunday), women from various corners of Scandinavia will gather to spend a few days seeking God together and getting refreshed by His Word. The event is only the second Calvary Chapel Women’s Retreat in Scandinavia, following the successful gathering of 12 women in the spring of 2008.

”We really enjoyed the retreat last spring, and we’ve been encouraged to repeat the success in 2009. The theme will be Makeover 09, and Inga-Lil Guzik will come and teach from Ezekiel about God taking our heart of stone and giving us a heart of flesh and giving life to our dry bones. I’m sure many women across the Scandinavian region could do with some of that, so we’re hoping to see as many ladies show up as possible,” says Sofia Ortiz, who is the main organizer of the retreat.

Makeover 09 will be held at a small and cozy conference center in the scenic surroundings of Vaxholm about 45 minutes outside Stockholm (see picture). You can check out more pictures of the location by visiting the website: www.bogesundsslottsvandrarhem.se.

The attendance fee for the entire weekend retreat is 550 SEK (please exchange to Swedish currency), and payment can be made upon arrival.

To sign up for Makeover 09, please email Sofia Ortiz (Sofiaortiz33@yahoo.com) or Allison Broegger (allisonbroegger@gmail.com). They will also be able to give you information about how to get to the retreat location.
