Father Daughter Retreat

Sixty fathers and daughters gathered for the father/daughter retreat last week-end  It was a combination of learning the pillars of woman-hood to shooting down clay pigeons labled with ideas that need to be excluded from our actions and minds. 

Then there was tea time in the barn.  The old handkerchiefs in the tea cups were the favors.  Deborah and her helpers always do a beautiful job with the food and the decorations.

The twelve pillars of womanhood discussed were:

1. An Image Bearer  Genesis 1:26-27
2. A woman not a man  Genesis 2:21-23
3. A Disciple  Deut. 6:7
4. A member of the church  Acts 2:42
5. A demonstration of unfading beauty   1 Peter 3:4
6. A helpmeet  Genesis 2:18
7. A trustful and submissive wife   Ephesians 5:22
8. A keeper at home   Titus 2:5
9. A domestic entrepreneur   Proverbs 31:10-31
10. A fruitful bearer of children  Genesis 1:28
11. A teacher of the next generation  Ephesians  6:1-3
12. A godly mentor  Titus 2:3-5
