Mary Christmas is a one-day retreat that focuses on the life of Jesus' mother, Mary. She was given a frightening challenge but she immediately said yes. This retreat will focus on our own responses to God and to seek how we can respond like Mary. The schedule is packed with a full day of fun, fellowship, and teaching. There is a Bible study activity, two workshops, craft time, singing, sugar cookie activity, and ends with a memorable teaching time. The following is emphasized at this special retreat: 1) God calls us to great things based on our hearts and not our station in life. 2) When God calls us to do difficult things, he gives us extra grace to accomplish them. 3) God usually works through people, but no matter which way he chooses, he will accomplish his plan. Mary Christmas is a leader-guided booklet filled with everything needed for a successful retreat: detailed schedules, teaching material, fun and memorable activities, song suggestions, and much more.
