RELENTLESS PURSUIT

We are expecting God to move in a beautiful way as we gather together in total pursuit
of His presence!! Let’s leave the distractions behind and retreat to a place where we
can seek God with more intentionality. I know He will meet us there! If you have any
questions, please feel free to reach out to me at pastordinora@calvaryftw.com or to Jan
Bradley at kenjanbrad@gmail.com. You can also check out Allaso Ranch by visiting

Joyfully,

FAQ

Hello Girlfriends!
We are so excited for our Women’s Retreat taking place on Friday, September 26th to Saturday, September 27th at Allaso Ranch in Hawkins, Texas. Here are all the details!

The cost is $180.00 and can be paid in installments if needed. If you haven’t already
signed up, be sure to do so because there are limited spaces available. We will close

We offer sponsorships for those that are not able to pay their own way. Please contact
Pastor Dinora if you need assistance.

Travel
The drive to Allaso Ranch is a little over 2 hours from Calvary Church. If you are able to
carpool, I definitely encourage you to do so. However we will be renting vans as
needed for transportation. The vans will be leaving the church at 12:30pm on Friday.
Please be sure to eat lunch before leaving because we do not plan on stopping on the
way to Allaso.
