Ladies! Our Women's Ministries Spring Retreat will take place on Friday, March 31 and Saturday, April 1. All TOPC ladies are welcome for this time of study, fellowship, and fun!

On Friday night, starting at 7 p.m., we will be solving a mystery! The Vicar has been murdered... You know, Vicar Demming. He's been poinsoned at Belladonna Manor at a Garden Party. Come to the Hamilton's house and join the fun! Come be a suspect, an investigator, or...the murderer. You won't know unless you come and help solve the mystery of who killed the Vicar. Intrigued? Call, email, or talk to Michele Brown. She needs to know you are coming so that she can send you an email with information about the mystery to solve. The cost is $5.00. This activity is part of the Women's Spring Retreat, but if you can't come on Saturday to the Retreat, you are most welcome to join us for just this night! David Askey will be driving a large van from the church to the Hamilton's house, leaving the parking lot at 6 p.m. Let Lisa Askey know if you want to ride along.

On Saturday, our speaker, Mary Underwood (daughter of Grace Haney) will be leading us on "a Biblical walk with the Lord" based on John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. Please arrive at 9:30 a.m. sharp; the first seesion starts at 10 a.m. Ten dollars covers the cost of Friday night's fun, all meals, and the activities on Saturday.

The retreat will be held at the Hamilton’s house (not the Tilton’s as previously announced). This change of venue means that we won’t be sleeping overnight there, but we will still be “going away”. Please indicate that you are interested in attending by using the sign-up sheet on the Coming Events Bulletin Board.
