You are invited to our 6th "Thumbs to the Left" Spiritual Retreat! Women of the Shenandoah District and all friends who want to join us will have a welcoming spiritual environment to focus on this year's theme:

"Ways to Pray through Body, Mind, and Spirit!"

Throughout the day during general sessions, group settings, and grounding activities we will consider how God made us whole people and how to pray with our whole selves. Come prepared for open, honest discussions, where you will be safe to share thoughts and ask questions among others who are seeking to grow in their understanding of being daughters of God and sisters in faith. 

Expect lots of laughter, amazingly good food, and an opportunity to connect with others. Bring an open heart and some friends. 

What is the meaning of "Thumbs to the Left?"

In Christian contexts, holding hands with "thumbs to the left" during prayer is a symbolic gesture of mutual support and community. When individuals stand in a circle and hold hands this way, it signifies that they are both giving and receiving support. In other words, one person is supporting another's hand while someone else is supporting their own. 

Join us for this free fellowship event that will include a day filled with worship, community service, small group breakout sessions, a light breakfast, a full lunch, and free childcare.
