Annual Women's Retreat Nov. 11th and 12th...

The St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church annual women's retreat will be on Fri. Nov. 11th to Sat. Nov. 12th. Mother Cassiana from Protection of the Holy Virgin Monastery in Colorado will be the speaker. On Friday, she will talk about Marriage and Monasticism from 7pm-9pm. This session is open to everyone (meaning... men are invited). On Saturday she will be speaking on the Holy Theotokos from 9:30am to 4pm (Vesper's will begin at 4pm). This session is only for women and young ladies. Cost is $15 for Saturday (which includes lunch and snacks). If you are interested, please contact Presv. Stacey Dorrance at 503-590-6109 or Jennifer Davis at 503-292-9976 to make a reservation. In the past we have been able to find accomadations for out of town guests but I'm not sure about this year's arrangements.

I plan to be there (I got the evening off work, and the day off work on Saturday).

That sounds wonderful - I'm actually going to be in Portland on the 12th, but will be there for a Book Club event so I can't attend.

We are going to digitally record it and most likely post it to the st. john's website (we will also video record it, too). I'll let my blog-readers know when it is posted to the website (will probably take a few weeks:)
Mimi... will you be in town just the 12th or are you staying over?

Unfortunately, just the 12th - one of our Book Club members moved to Portland, so we are taking the train down as a group (we're in Olympia) and doing Book Club, then getting on the train that afternoon and coming home.
