The Blessed Alliance is the vision God unveiled at Creation for all humanity. As he launched the greatest enterprise imaginable, he commissioned his male and female image bearers—together—to join forces as kingdom agents who speak and act on his behalf and to explore, cultivate, and care for his creation. East of Eden, we live in the ruins of a broken world and as members of a divided humanity.

Even in the church, we struggle to get along, much less to work together. Now, inside the church, instead of a breathtaking unity, epidemic levels of abuse have surfaced. We need to recover that Blessed Alliance. Jesus came and died to rebuild it. His dying prayer was for a oneness to form among his followers that will shock the world and prove that “Jesus has come and that his kingdom is not of this world.”

What could be more important than for us to ponder together the beauty and high calling of God’s vision and explore the profound implications it has on our own stories.

The retreat will take place at the La Quinta in Andover, MA, and is for any woman who is currently serving in her church or organization. This will be a time to connect with sisters who have a heartbeat for Christ; it will be a time of encouragement and enrichment.

Our time together will feature a variety of elements. Here are some highlights:

• Meaningful and inspirational worship
• Special guest speaker Carolyn Custis James will be speaking twice on Saturday and at Sunday’s general session on “The Blessed Alliance: Men and Women Serving God Together.”
• We will also be having a special evening event with Carolyn on Saturday that will be open to all women, even those not attending the retreat!
• A relaxed time of fun to connect with old and new friends
• Personal quiet time and prayer 
• Ministry-relevant breakout sessions (you can take 2!)
