“A Day of Hope and Healing”
One Day Retreat for Women

May 6, 2006

Hopewood Retreat Ministries and C.J. Hendry & Associates invite you to come away to a quiet, peaceful setting for a day set apart from the routines of normal life. This day of listening, learning and leaning on the Lord Himself will offer you a safe place to discover wise principles for healing many of life’s most painful wounds as well as opportunities for fellowship, worship and prayer.

“Moderator for the Day” Carol J. Ball, M.A., M.Div., LPCC
Carol Ball, a licensed professional clinical counselor with a Masters of Divinity from Ashland Theological Seminary will serve as Moderator for the day. She has over 28 years in healing ministry and has a special way of communicating her own experiences of brokenness, loss, disappointment and struggles in relationships. She will minister to you as she helps you apply what you are learning throughout the day.

“Healing After Significant Loss” Carol Klekota, M.A., LPCC
Carol’s special interest in the areas of trauma and loss have become even more personal to her after her mother’s recent death from breast cancer. Whether your loss is recent or long ago, she will offer comfort and spiritual direction for dealing with the pain of losses seemingly too difficult to bear, be they the result of death, divorce, or any other form of separation. Her Biblical insight and candor will encourage and inspire you to allow God to help you find your new normal as life continues after you suffer loss.

“Healing in Difficult Relationships” Mary Lou Doebele, M.A., LPC
Mary Lou is passionate about seeing people delivered out of the bondage of abusive relationships. She will present helpful insights and tools for facing and moving beyond the very real pain of conflict with those you love. Mary Lou has walked through an amazing journey from despair to restoration in her own marriage and will share her healing journey with you as well.

“Healing the Wounded Soul” Susan Zacharias, LSW, M.A., LPCC
Susan will gently shed new light into the painful darkness of your past. Her many years of experience counseling men and women through the wounds that continue to haunt them today is led by God’s spirit and will bring our pains and hurts to the forefront so that the spirit of God might have access to mend our deepest wounds.

Cost is $60 per person and includes lunch, beverages, and snacks.

Counselors have donated their time in order that all proceeds of this event will benefit the ongoing Hopewood ministry.

We will be meeting in the common Ground Lodge which is situated on 20 picturesque acres in the Vermilion River Valley. Lovely trails, benches and a gazebo are part of this peaceful setting. Please dress comfortably so you can enjoy some time alone or perhaps a walk with friends in the beautiful surroundings throughout the day—weather permitting.
