See and hear about the Global Exchange from Muriel Stephens, who has just returned from Eastern Europe. If you can only come for one day, make it Saturday! Hear about the 24-year partnership of our Presbytery and the Hungarian Reformed Church. Learn how God’s grace is evident in the every-day lives of women in Eastern Europe–and Mid-Missouri. Optional activities when you arrive Friday afternoon–take time to relax and enjoy the beauty of Fall. Walk to the lake, visit with other women, join in a work project or allow time to meditate–you choose! A time for women to come together for worship, learning, laughter, singing, meditation and maybe gardening or crafts or games!
Chriss Wheeler is directing the Retreat for a third year. Muriel Stephens, the Secretary for Presbyterian Women in the Synd of Mid-America and a resident of the St. Louis area, will report on the August 2008 PW Global Exchange to Eastern Europe. Recovering from the effects of more than 70 years of communism, the people of the Czech Republic, Hungary and Ukraine are struggling to adjust to new economic, political and societal realities. The people of these countries must deal with rapid changes in education, health care, environmental issues and social equality.

No lunch will be served Sunday, but participants are welcome to stay as long as they wish Sunday afternoon.
