April 27-29 and May 4-6, 2012

Refresh, there's room for your soul in a weekend-long Women’s Event. Take time away from the daily duties of life to relax, worship, pray, and be spiritually nourished. This year’s keynote speaker is Ellie Lofaro, nationally acclaimed speaker and author.

Speaker: Ellie Lofaro

Ellie Lofaro’s message is a wonderful blend of plain spoken truth, common sense practicality and disarming humor.

A serious student of Scripture and a keen observer of the culture, Ellie has developed a unique teaching style that touches the heart, stimulates the mind, and nourishes the soul - thus inspiring her to found Heart, Mind & Soul Ministries.

Completely convinced of God’s love and His mandate to “go and tell,” Ellie has committed her life to sharing the Great News. She speaks internationally, has authored six books, and teaches a weekly interdenominational Bible study. Her deepest joy comes from receiving and sharing the goodness and love of God.

Women's ministry leaders embrace Refresh, a weekend with room for the soul, as their group's annual retreat. Why go to all of the expense and work of planning a retreat when its all being done for you?

Worship Leaders:

Carrie Kay, worship leader for weekend #1, April 27-29.

Carrie Kay has traveled throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia ministering to rural congregations as well as national conventions. She is a woman who is “sold out” to God. Carrie is deeply devoted to the Word of God, to intercessory prayer, and ministry in music as a soloist and worship leader. Her sincere, charismatic personality appeals to people of all ages and backgrounds, and people love her passion for the Lord.

Kathy Trocolli, worship leader for weeked #2, May 4-6.

This two time Dove award winner travels the world speaking and singing of God's life and love. With millions of recordings sold including her beloved worship CD, Draw Me, Kathy found time to co-author Spaghetti for the Soul with our "very Italian" keynote speaker, Ellie Lofaro. Kathy's music touches millions worldwide and she has never been more fulfilled than she is right now. "I am exactly where I am supposed to be.
