2015 Fall Retreat - Seek Learning

This year's theme for our annual retreat stemmed from the verse: "And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith." Doctrine and Covenants 88:118

The evening began with snacking, visiting and serving as we packaged up snack bags for people staying at the nearby Ronald McDonald house.

We then gathered for a dinner of sweet pork barbacoa salad in the style of CafĂ© Rio including the signature tin plates!  The decor of festive fall leaves, stacks of books and apples set a warm tone throughout.

As ladies finished eating, we were treated to amazing piano by Hilary M. and then had a Show & Tell presentation where sisters shared new learning endeavors they had developed in the last few years.

We then had two class times where sisters could learn from any of 4 classes: Art Therapy with Keily, Nourishing your Family Spiritually and Physically with Suzi, Improve your Photography with Courtney and Empower Yourself with Power Tools with Brianna.


We closed the evening with a spectrum of apple desserts and more visiting!

A big thanks to the activity committee, bakers, participants and supporters for an invigorating evening.
