A New Year’s Staycation: Constant Change, Constant God

Life is filled with change. Whether big or small, transitions in our lives as women can sometimes throw us for a loop! Whatever your age or stage of life, let’s come together this January 3-5 and gear up to take on the New Year with God’s power, hope, and help!

LOCATION:

We’re staycationing in our own beautiful backyard – the Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa. This will be our destination for fun, relaxation, laughter, worship, great teaching, and time with God and others. You can check out the resort at http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/sanci-coronado-island-marriott-resort-and-spa/.

OUR SPEAKER:

Dr. Gail Bones, a former English teacher and professor of education, has been engaging audiences as a speaker, Bible teacher, songwriter and worship leader for more than thirty years. Gail and her husband Jeff live in San Diego, where happiness means always having one or more of the following in her hands: a dog leash, a sailboat tiller, bicycle handlebars, a kayak paddle, an acoustic guitar, a big fat book, or a hazelnut coffee. (We should add . . . her baby granddaughter Summer, who will be visiting with us that week, too!) Summer’s mom EMILY WEEKS, will be co-leading our worship, along with Gail. (Find out more about Gail here: www.gailbones.com.)
