Deb Burma will lead us in a breakout session entitled, "Holding Hands" which will explore how we hold the hands of others in our walk of faith. This year's Bible verse is 1 Peter 5:10, "And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."

Living a Chocolate Life - Feb. 5 & 6, 2010
Come join your sisters in Christ as Deb Burma shares how we can savor the rich indulgences of God’s Grace in our lives. Women of all ages are welcome - from ages 12 to 112. Bring a newcomer and you both receive a $5 discount off your registration.
Young Women’s Retreat Feb. 5-6, 2010 in Lake Geneva. Theme: Living a Chocolate Life.
Featured Speaker: Deb Burma will share how we can savor the rich
indulgences of God’s Grace in our lives.
Each of us have had those days when it feels like nothing can go wrong. We
wake up happy, get everything done we had planned, make that perfect meal,
get that clean bill of health from the doctor, and have that great
conversation with a friend.
But what about the rest of our days that aren’t quite as wonderful nor
filled with sweet memories? Each of us needs to be reminded of God’s
Grace and presence in our life, especially when we are suffering through
those dark days. God does work to the good of those who love Him and He
will restore you and make you strong.
Come and enjoy some wonderful fellowship with your sisters in Christ and
return home with the sweet awareness of God’s Grace in your life.
All ages are welcome to the Young Women’s Retreat. Come one, come all
and savor God’s rich Grace in your life!

Young Women Talk
About Value of Mentors
Katy Wagner, chairman of the District LWML Young Women's Committee, received the following comments from young LWMLers regarding their experience with mentors. Who is mentoring the young women in your congregation?
From Linda Juul, Two Rivers, WI
I do have a very good friend who shares my faith. We attend church and church functions together because our husbands do not. She invited me to Bible study when things seemed to be caving in on me. We share the happy times and the sad.
We enjoy stamping, scrapbooking, our Red Hat Society group, shopping, and getting together with our families. Currently we have agreed to be responsible for teaching my grandson (& her nephew) about Jesus.
At first it seems strange that we are friends........but it is part of God's perfect plan. Debbie's younger sister passed away about 18 years ago and I ended up marrying her brother-in-law. Fortunately we are best friends.
From Catie Welzen,McHenry, IL
Ruth Kruegar (SWD LWML VP for Human Care and Grants) introduced me to LWML and she supports me in my Christian walk. I learned how to be a good Christian woman by the examples she sets. We do the garage and craft sales, she was one of my Sunday School teachers, and we have church holiday parties together with the whole church. Also I know that if I ever need her, all I have to do is give her a call and she will listen to me and be there for me.
From Marie Adams, West Bend, WI
My special someone who God put beside me is Marsha Bieneke (SWD LWML meeting manager). She has introduced me to LWML and supported my retreats. I have been amazed at her generosity and care. She has taken the time to introduce herself and be a friend. I was very new to our church when I met her which was a blessing. She took me under her wing and invited me to my first retreat where I learned about God’s gift of friendship. She has taught me a lot about caring for others. She leads me to peace and contentment. I thank the Lord for sending someone so special into my life. She gives a lot to me and has taught me to give to others.
From Amanda Buck, Sheboygan, WI
My mentor is my mother (an active LWML member and former missionary). I have learned so much about what is really important in this life--serving God and others, spreading the Gospel and putting others first from her. I like talking, cooking, walking, playing games, going shopping, watching movies, and reading with my mother. She is an amazing Christian role model; she is inspiring, encouraging, and always loving and patient. She is funny and caring. She is also a wonderful example of the mother I hope to be someday.
