Women's Retreat
"Ten Truths for Living God's Way"
October 3rd-5th, 2007 @
Lost Canyon in Williams, AZ
Hey ladies, you know how busy our schedules are.
Appointments, to-do lists, working, taking care of the
house, etc. Well, it’s time for a break. Join the women of
Desert Springs for our annual Women’s Retreat, October
3rd-5th in the cool pines of Williams, Arizona.
This is a great opportunity to get some relaxation, and
escape from the every day demands that keep us so busy. It
is a chance to
recharge and get back in touch with what’s important. It is
also an awesome opportunity to get to know some of the women
of DSBC in a fun, friendly environment.
The retreat will be held at Young Life’s
Lost Canyon Ranch in Williams. It offers women the
chance to fellowship with other women and attend seminars
tailored to their needs or spend quiet time alone.
The Speaker
This year’s guest speaker, Cynthia Heald will speak to us
from God’s Word. Cynthia was born in Houston, Texas and has
resided in Tucson, Arizona since 1977. She graduated from
the University of Texas with a BA in English and married her
husband, Jack in 1960. Jack, a veterinarian by profession,
has been on staff with Navigators since 1978
Cynthia is a mother of four children, two girls and two boys
and grandmother of nine! Some of her favorite things are
sharing the Word of God, being with her husband and family,
taking bubble baths , having tea parties and eating out
Special Worship Leader
JJ Heller will be leading us in Worship this year.
She began her career nearly six years ago at San Jose
Christian College where she dabbled in songwriting and
performed at local coffeehouses. After graduating, JJ and
Dave got married and relocated to Phoenix to pursue music
full time. The combination of Dave's business sense and
creative input, and JJ's loose artistic style drives their
success. In March 2006, she independently released her third
record.
Fun Stuff
The retreat also offers women the opportunity to challenge
themselves physically with hikes in the forest or on the
camp’s ropes course high in the treetops. During free time,
shoppers can get their fix hunting for antiques in cute and
historical downtown Williams.
The Rooms
Lost Canyon has five camper dorms. Rooms are available in
three sizes: 10, 12 and 14 beds. There are connecting doors
between rooms as well, in case you have a larger group.
Each room has bunk beds, cubbies for storage, personal
restrooms (with heated floors!), hot showers and carpet.
Facilities
The facilities at Lost Canyon are first-class. Each building
was uniquely designed to accommodate the needs of campers in
comfort, convenience and quality. The beautiful dining room
will comfortably hold all guests for table service dining.
The Club Room is brand new and features an amazing sound
system and theatre style seating for large groups.
