Yes, I’m a little late putting these up but here are some photos from the Women’s Retreat! Below is a photo of Angel Richard, our speaker for the weekend. She was awesome! Thanks for being with us Angel!

On another note don’t forget about UPC’s Sock Hop!!!
Here’s a chance to have some fun with the rest of the UPC church body. There will be a Sock Hop at 6:30 pm on Saturday, October 18 at the church. What is a Sock Hop? It’s the dance that evolved from the popularity or early rock and roll. Think the 1950’s, Grease and having so much fun you’ll want to kick off your shoes and dance around in your socks! Although a fairly impromptu style of dance, there will be some professionals there to show us what to do. Dancers of all abilities encouraged to attend.
Tickets available for sale on Sunday morning after the worship serivces. $5 per person. $5 for childcare. (this information was written by Seth H and taken by me for this website!)

I love to make my own jewelry. It started a few years ago while I was a student at UCF. I was having a horrible day and had a free afternoon…so being the introvert that I am, I thought that some time alone was probably a good idea. I had seen a sign for a bead store across the street from UCF, so I decided to check it out. I am so glad that I did. 
This past weekend was the UPC Women’s Retreat in Daytona Beach. It was a great weekend. I learned new things, was reminded of old truth and enjoyed spending time with other women at the beach. One of the things that the speaker Angel Richard spoke about briefly was meditation. Meditation is something that has always seemed so nebulous to me. I have heard it explained in the past as thinking about scripture or mulling it over in your mind. This type of definition kind of made sense to me, but I wasn’t ever sure how to do it. Angel explained meditation as simply “asking questions” while reading scripture. When she said this, the “light bulb” went on in my head. “Oh,” I thought “well I can do that.” During our Saturday morning devotion time, she gave us a passage of scripture and four questions (written by Martin Luther) to use to meditate on the passage. These questions really helped me think about and absorb the truth that was presented in the psalm that I had just read. I plan to write these questions out on a note card and put them in my bible so I can remember them and use them as a guide to come up with my own.
