Do you long for intimate time with the Lord?

Join us as we set apart time to intentionally seek Him.

Registration for our May retreat is closed.

We pray you will join us at an upcoming retreat.

The One Step Closer retreats are designed to give women a chance to step away from the everyday hustle of life in order to seek Him. Our desire at these retreats is to create an environment where we can slow our pace and learn a rhythm that is unhurried and quiet and full of His presence.

The retreat will include:

Live Worship
In-depth Bible teaching from Debbi Garcia
Ideas and tools to assist you in bringing God’s Word to life in a personal and intimate way
Personal Quiet Time
Group discussion time to share and grow in understanding.
Take home materials for further study on the topic of the month
Fellowship time
Delicious dinner prepared just for you

Please pray about spending this time with us to break free from your everyday duties and “come close to Him.”

James 4:8 says:
“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” (NKJV)
“Come close to the one true God, and He will draw close to you.” (The Voice)

What to expect:

The retreat will be held in a private home. (The retreat will be held in La Quinta, CA.)
There will be gluten free food options available at meals.
This retreat is technology FREE – please do not bring any computers, iPods, Mp3 players, etc.
Yes, we will have COFFEE available when you arrive.
Dress in your comfy clothes – something you would curl up in at home to read and relax.

≈ What an honor it will be to spend time with you as we seek after Him. ≈

What you need to bring:

Bible (Please bring a “paper” bible. Remember it’s going to be a technology-free retreat.)
Pens
Watch
Your favorite blanket or chair if you desire to sit on the lawn during quiet time.

Before you come:

Please pray for the Lord to prepare you heart for this day.
Let Him begin to minister to you and refresh you as you think of stepping away from your duties as mom, wife, daughter, working woman and multi-tasker.
Meditate on James 4:8 – “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”
Think about the women in your life. Invite anyone you feel could use this time away.

We hope to see you in May for a sweet time set apart for Him.
