Scioto Hills Women's Retreat The Lord richly bles ed at the ioto Hill Women's Retreat. This \\ a held September 9-11. Although the attendance wa mall, the out– pouring of His blessing was great! As we entered the camp grounds, ne tied in the hills, the atmosphere of re ting and coming aside with the Sa\.·iour ettled upon us. Six churche were represented with Grace Bapti t Church of Cedarville topping the number in attendance. They had eleven registered. Mr . Robert Gilbert showed slides of European, African and South American mission fields on the first night. The other sessions were a First Joho book study. Hearts were blessed with the richness of His Word. Miss Carolyn Gleason, missionary to Vene– zuela under Baptist Mid-Missions, challenged each one with her skill– fully planned messages and slide pre- entation. She is a dynamic speaker \.vith a searching message. We felt the burden more for central and southern Ohio church women upporting this retreat. It is planned and arranged for your blessing, re– freshment and encouragement. The paddle boats, swimming, hik– ing and the knitting classes, as well as the excellent food were greatly enjoyed. We trust more women will plan on attending next year .
