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.

Chapel welcomes newcomers

The women of Hudson Community Chapel will help new residents get to know the community at a newcomers brunch Sept. 9 at 9:30 a.m. at the church, 750 W. Streetsboro St.

The brunch, which will be in the conference room, is followed up by a weekly class which is designed for women who are looking for fellowship, friendship and a way to get plugged in to their new area.

The study group will work through the book "After the Boxes Are Unpacked-Moving On After Moving In" by Susan Miller.

Childcare will be provided for the informational brunch and during the weekly study. Books are available through the class.
