OVERVIEW:

Redeemed was created for mothers who desire to experience the redeeming-power of Jesus Christ through their grief from the loss of a child. Whether you have been a Christian for a long time or are just starting your walk with the Lord, this retreat will encourage and strengthen your Christian faith as you journey through grief.

This retreat will create a space where each mother can focus on her relationship with the Lord while building new friendships with one another. There will be Bible study, prayer, worship, group and small group discussions, times of reflection, crafts, and free time, all designed to point our hearts to the Truth and promises of God and His Word. Come join us as we experience the rest, strength and comfort of Jesus Christ.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Whole group and small group discussions: Being with other bereaved mamas is something most of us find so rare, yet incredibly comforting and powerful. During the retreat, you will have an opportunity to participate in several whole group and small group discussions. We will share our stories with each other and pray for each other. Topics will vary but will focus on the following aspects of grief: 

  • Working through anger and/or guilt

  • Questions about God’s role in our loss

  • Finding meaning and purpose in our loss, and joy in spite of our loss

  • Prayer and the effect of loss on our communication with God

  • Relationships with our spouse and children 

These discussions will focus on opening up God's Word together in search of perspective and hope that can only be found in Christ.

Memorial Projects: Various memorial projects will be offered throughout our time together. It is a time to reflect on and remember our angels through a tangible process, either independently or as a group.

Personal Reflection + Prayer: There will be time available during the retreat to reflect and pray upon all that you have experienced throughout the weekend, to reflect on how God may be moving in your heart, as well as goals you may have to take steps toward God as you leave the retreat.

Sharing Our Angels + Our Journey of Faith: As grieving mothers, we can often feel alienated from the rest of the world. For most of us, we rarely get the chance to talk about our children with the outside world. There is something therapeutic about sharing the stories of our angels. To speak their names and tell their stories to other loss mamas that understand. We will spend time sharing the stories of our children as well as where we are in our walk with the Lord. 

Worship: One of the ways we come to trust God’s promises to heal us and guide us into deeper faith is through praise and worship. Worship is praising God without asking questions or seeking answers - its a part of submitting to his will. We will offer opportunities to worship together as a group. Music will be a mix of contemporary Christian songs and timeless hymns.
