“God is our refuge and strength …” so starts Psalm 46, the Psalm that has inspired our upcoming Flock Retreat.
Join us November 4-6 at the Conference Point Center in Williams Bay, WI as we enjoy fellowship together and remind ourselves of the reason that we do not fear this world or its hardships.
“Though the earth give way,” our hope remains because we do not put our faith in leaders of nations, our closest friends and family or even in ourselves.
We hope because, “The Lord Almighty is with us.”
FLOCK is a weekend designed to be a time of renewal in nature and God's Word with other women. Come rest in the grace and forgiveness found in Jesus. The life-changing gospel will be found in the retreat's teaching, live worship, and conversations (or silences) in between.
FEATURED SPEAKERS
FEATURED MUSICIAN
Amanda Rose is a Christian singer-songwriter. She creates music that is elegant, meditative, and full of soul. Inspired by the word of God, Amanda's songs take listeners on a vulnerable journey from inner struggle to hope found in Jesus. Cultivating a genre-blending mix of Indie folk and blues, Amanda's music explores themes of love, forgiveness, transformation, and freedom.
Her pure vocal sound, high range, and delicate way of singing brings a fresh take on music that is nothing short of captivating. She uses her voice like an instrument to create an etherial mood, sometimes haunting, sometimes joyful, and always engaging.
No stranger to both conventional songwriting and classical training, Amanda has her BA in Vocal Performance from Bethany Lutheran College and her Master's in Music Composition/Technology from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee.
In addition to other songs, she will be debuting an original at FLOCK based on Martin Luther's poem, God is Our Refuge in Distress.
