"Adorned: Rethinking Beauty"

Join us for a morning of relaxation and refreshment at the CPC Women’s Morning Retreat. We will spend time in personal reflection, connecting with other women, hearing from speakers, and worshiping together.

We are excited to have Melissa Johnson as our main speaker for the morning. Melissa is a licensed marriage and family therapist, spiritual director, author of Soul-Deep Beauty: Fighting for Our True Worth in a World Demanding Flawless, and the founder of Impossible Beauty, a podcast and blog dedicated to redefining beauty as “the life of God at work in us and among us.”

We are literally being sold a certain kind of ‘flawless’ beauty: skincare products, cosmetic procedures, and all kinds of strategies for changing or ‘perfecting’ our bodies. And, yet the Bible gives us a much different idea of what beauty is. Together we will reflect on 1 Peter 3:3-4, the concept of adornment, and how God’s Spirit may shape and fill us to adorn our communities with true beauty.

As part of the morning, you will have the option to choose two breakout sessions to further explore our theme for the morning. You will sign up for your choices at a later date.

Our morning will start with yummy breakfast food, hot beverages, and a time to meet one another around tables in Westview. We hope you will leave rested and renewed as we prepare for the year ahead.

The cost for this event is $15. If paying $15 prevents you from attending or inviting others, please use this discount code to reduce the cost to $5: RETREAT.

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. I Peter 3:3-4
