”Women of all denominations are invited to attend a spiritual retreat at the Pacific Palisades Presbyterian Church, 15821 Sunset Blvd., from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 23. The day’s theme will be ‘Healing the Purpose of Our Lives.’ This day retreat will explore ways in which individuals can discover their own unique gifts and will, through lectures, small group and meditation sessions, inspire members of the group to uncover their own purpose in life. ”The Reverend Emily Berman D’Andrea, the Associate Pastor for Spiritual Growth and Mission at the Lewinsville Presbyterian Church in McLean, Virginia, leads this fifth annual women’s retreat in the Palisades. ” ‘The ideas we will explore begin with and are centered on the Biblical foundation from Jeremiah: that God knew us even before we were born and that God has created each one of us as a unique child with specific gifts to share with the world,’ commented Rev. D’Andrea. ”The daylong program will feature music, refreshments and a gourmet luncheon that will provide time for friendship and fellowship with women from all areas in the community. ” ”Registration is $35 and women can register the morning of the event or in advance by calling 454-0366, or e-mailing spiritual.spa@verizon.net.
