The following article was written by Ruth Wisher, a senior leader in the Lambda Chi Girls Ministry.
The anticipation for our 5th annual princess retreat is growing. This retreat, that brings in hundreds of girls, is taking place on January 19, 2008. The princess retreat is put on by the Lambda Chi Girls' ministry of First Baptist Church, with hopes to unite girls from the surrounding areas. Whether we come from a small country church or a much larger church, January 19 is set aside for ALL girls 6th-12th grade to come together and share their stories, prayers, and dreams with one another. The Princess Retreat helps girls realize that they are beautiful in God's eyes and that He is the one who we should be trying to please. We learn how to deal with problems that we face everyday from those who have faced them before. They teach us to recognize that our heavenly Father is the King, and that makes each one of us princesses. I believe that Princess Retreat 2008 will be the best. We welcome back speakers Shannon Hazleton and Courtney Crowe, who were with us for our past retreats, as well as Sara Beth Geoghegan, a talented musician, who for the third time will be leading us with her beautiful music. We are also very excited to be welcoming Lori Mangum who will share with us. We have been looking forward to this year's retreat for such a long time and it’s hard to believe it is almost here. As the day grows closer we ask for your prayers and support as we reach out to the hundreds of girls that will fill our church. Our prayer is that we can share our light and our love of Christ to every single person who walks through our doors on that Saturday morning and that their lives will be changed as they leave that night. We have had very successful Princess Retreats in the past and we've asked some members of Lambda Chi to share their experiences from past retreats as well as their anticipations for the upcoming retreat.
What do you like most about the Princess Retreat?
Hannah Ward 8th grader- "I like how at the end of the night we all join and sing all together."
What do you hope will happen this Princess Retreat?
Hannah Ward 8th grader- "I hope to get closer to people and to connect with all the girls more."
Marlee Roberts 10th grader- "That God will make his presence known."
What are you expecting out of your very first princess retreat?
Madison Conlay 7th grader- "I expect to have fun and hope all my friends will come."
Marlee Roberts 10th grader- "I'm expecting to get closer to the girls and to God."
