The official date is the first Sunday in March through the second Sunday. Your church can choose this date or another time during the Easter season to participate.
Visit www.AnnieArmstrong.com for resources to help promote the week of prayer and offering.

SELAH
2021-02-25 16:00 - 2021-02-27 12:00 (America/New_York)
Do you feel emotionally, physically, relationally, or even spiritually weary, especially after 2020? Most women do! As a women’s ministry leader, it is important to be able to admit your own needs so that you can find the emotional, relational, spiritual, and physical health you need to lead the women of your church well. During Selah 2021, we will explore how all of these aspects of life are interdependent and discover tools for overcoming weariness so that we can continue on in the good work to which God has called us.
Special Guests include Ashley Chesnut and Megan Cryder. The retreat will be held at Pinnacle Retreat Center in Clayton.
Visit GeorgiaBaptistWomen.org/Selah for more information.
