Women invited on weekend retreat

Rejoice Lutheran Church is accepting registrations for "Hidden Heroes of the Gospel" -- a relaxing weekend of uplifting music, faith-inspired discussion and Christian fellowship for women.

The retreat will be Oct. 8, 9 and 10 at Lake Chautauqua Lutheran Retreat Center in Bemus Point, N.Y., about a two-hour drive from Hudson. The retreat leader is the Rev. Barbara Holzhauser. Participants will pray, worship, sing and laugh together as they study God's Word in a casual and relaxed setting.

For more information about how to register, visit www.rejoicelc.org or e-mail office@rejoicelc.org. Register before Sept. 20. The cost of the weekend retreat is $140, or $115 for first-time retreaters.

Rackley will share the experiences of her pilgrimage to Egypt. She spent three weeks in Egypt and Jordan with a group that visited the sacred sites of ancient Egypt. She will share her understanding of Egypt's culture and belief systems, her experiences at the sacred sites, and the wisdom that this ancient culture offers today. The sessions are free and open to the public.

Chapel welcomes newcomers
