The Outdoor Ministries program of the Montana-Northern Wyoming Conference provides a unique opportunity for people of all ages to experience Christian love and community. In the beauty of the Camp Mimanagish setting, in harmony with God's creation, surrounded by others who seek to live in community with each other as Jesus taught, with plenty of time for fun and relaxation, worship and meditation, study and exploration, we discover that love abounds to help shape our lives.

The place of the "singing waters" is looking forward to having you be a part of the mystery...the magic... the majesty that is Camp Mimanagish!

Camp Mimanagish is located south of Big Timber in the Gallatin National Forest along the Boulder River.

Women's Retreat at Camp Mimanagish

Program: Nurturing Ourselves and Relaxing Into God's Love

July 26-29, 2008 (Sat. aft. - Tues. morn.)

This year's Women's Retreat promises to be the best ever! Our special

guest is Pamela Bradburn, who has her Masters degree in Transforming

Spirituality. She is wonderfully warm and knowledgeable. I have found

that she can answer any clearly question about spirituality, and

together we have reworked the Retreat agenda for this year. We even

changed the name - see above.

Here are some highlights of this retreat. Surrounded by the beauty of

Creation, women of all ages will:

---experience Celtic spirituality and discover why it's so appealing.

---learn about nurturing ourselves because we are God's children.

---explore any parallels between ourselves and the 2nd century martyr,

Perpetua.

---use drama, art, and other skills to co-create with God.

---discuss how we can refer to other religions with respect.

---nap, hike, play games or watch movies in the evening together. (We expect

lots of avid Scrabble and card games again this year.)

---enjoy a massage or two by masseuse Patti Ford, for separate cost, of

course. (Everyone loved Patti's massages in 2006!)

---enjoy gourmet salads and lighter meals (Jenny will cook again!).

---relax into a caring and sharing community of women.

I hope you can feel my excitement about this year's Retreat. Please

they don't have to be UCC. Remember: coming to Women's Retreat is an

investment in yourself and in our Camp Mimanagish! There is no advance

reading assignment this year.

Having Pamela all to ourselves is a terrific opportunity. Pamela now is

a Spiritual Mentor as well as a Washington State Public Employees

Commissioner. We met in 1973 when they were lawyers together in a law

firm in Seattle. Pamela grew up primarily in Asia because her parents

served as missionaries in Thailand. From our talks I can see how at

home she is in her new work as a Spiritual Mentor. Her clarity of

thought and talk are remarkable.

Now is the time to register! Many have said, "I hope to come," but only

a few have officially registered so far. Last year we had 23, and I

hope we'll have 25 this year. Register on-line at

www.campmimanagish.org, use the paper form at your church, or just call

the Conference office 406.656.8688. The cost still is just $120, and

well worth it!
