Join us for this year’s Women’s Retreat is April 11^th (with an option to spend the night before if you would like)! Our annual Women’s Retreat is a weekend to get away, grow friendships and make new ones, and be encouraged in your relationship with God through time with Him and in His Word. We hope you will take advantage of this great opportunity for spiritual, relational, and physical rest and rejuvenation!

Are you under the impression that joy is a simple topic, rather obvious and without challenge? If so, perhaps you should get together with a dozen women and discuss it. You'll find that joy is anything but simple for many people. It's downright perplexing. There are some big questions about Christian joy that need answering. The Bible seems to promise joy, but most people don't experience it consistently. Some not at all. At times Scripture describes joy as a feeling, but then we hear things like, "Rejoice in the Lord, always!" and it sounds like we're commanded to be joyful. Can an emotion be commanded?

At our retreat on April 11th, we'll have the opportunity to wrestle with these questions and more. Robyn Huck will present three of the big questions surrounding joy: What is it? How do we get it? and How do we keep it? She'll offer some biblically grounded answers as well, but you'll have more time to grapple with the questions and the answers in small groups.

Joy, it turns out, is a rather fascinating topic. Please join us on April 11 and add your thoughts to the conversation.

Robyn Huck is one of the founders of Restoring Hope New England (formerly CCEF NE) and has more than 20 years of counseling and speaking experience. She has a passion for teaching the Bible to women and helping connect biblical truths and comforts to the challenges of life. Robyn and her husband Karl are parents to three grown children and have two daughters-in-law and four grandchildren. They are very pleased to have  lived in the Upper Valley their entire adult lives.
