Central Plains Nebraska Women’s Retreat
Aurora, Nebraska

March 5 and 6, 2011

Approximately 60 Mennonite Women from across Nebraska gathered at the Aurora Retreat Center on March 5-6, to share in God's steadfast love and receive encouragement from each other.  

Diane Zaerr Brenneman shared from her personal life experiences with her father's death and how she found joy, peace, and love from knowing that her father's life was rooted and grounded in God's presence.

The emphasis of the weekend was Discovering the Joy of the Lord and Going Out with Joy. Sharing times and fun activities were planned throughout the weekend, which included two workshops of a foot spa and water aerobics.  Laughter abounded during the talent show which was hosted by "Beulah & Gracie." 

A book table from Mennonite Publishing Network was enjoyed by those attending. Bellwood Mennonite ladies hosted the weekend.  Next year's annual meeting will be hosted by First Mennonite Lincoln Ladies the first weekend in March of 2012.  Mark your calendars to attend!
