Opportunities for Women
Women of Nativity 6th Annual Retreat
February 29, March 1 & 2

CELEBRATE!
The word celebrate means to honor. Not simply dealing with something that is done, as from the outside—rather it is giving a very special blessing to something. You are invited to join with other women from Nativity and the Diocese of Bethlehem as we celebrate others, celebrate ourselves and celebrate God! Our guest for the weekend will be Elsa Bakkum, M.Div.; EfM Mentor Trainer, professional organist, and creative retreat leader from Yorktown, VA. The retreat will be held at Hillside Inn Resort & Conference Center, East Stoudsburg, PA. Registration for the weekend is $190. This fee includes program, lodging, all meals, linens, activities and full use of the facilities. Scholarships are available.

To reserve your space, please complete a registration form and return it to the Cathedral office with a $75 deposit before December 1, 2007. Checks should be made payable to Cathedral Church of the Nativity. Full payment will be due February 1, 2007.
