Ladies
Retreat

Fall 2010 Retreat
The MLC Ladies Retreat is an organization
that meets
twice a year
in March
and
November at
the Music
Road Hotel
and
Convention
Center in Pigeon
Forge, Tenn-essee. I
began these
retreats to
help women
cope with today’s
world and to
connect with Christ. The initials MLC
stand for
Mary Lynn Crider but
they can
also mean " Making Ladies
Christlike.” That certainly is my goal. If I can encourage and help the ladies attending
these
conferences to become
more like Christ, then all my
effort will be worth while. Not only do I
seek to enable women to be more like Him, but
I also seek to help
them meet
and face the
awesome challenges facing women
today. Needs that arise
from
the work
place, the
home, the
community, and the church.
Ladies today
are facing
increasingly
more complex problems
than ever
before. The
demands of
raising a
family and
meeting the
needs
of a
husband,
the
expanding
career
responsibilities,
the
unrelenting
schedules,
and
the
unending
task of
house work
all combined
leaves her exhausted
and many times discouraged. The MLC
Ladies Retreat offers a few days relief from the
daily grind and
an
atmosphere
in which ladies are free to experience
the still small voice
of God.
I seek to bring to the MLC
Ladies
Retreats the
best
speakers that
I can
find.
These speakers offer, not only Biblical instruction, but also the many varied experi-ences that God has allowed them
to go through. For example, I had Dawn Robinson, a survivor of
the World Trade Center collapse in New York on 9/11, to
speak to our ladies about all the
things she
endured and how God was faithful to spare her
life. This is a challenge that I want
our ladies
to receive. Regardless
of the difficult
days you may
have to
endure, God
is always faithful to His
children.
Along with
the speakers, I bring to the conference the singing ministries
of Sandy
Payton,
Missy Waldroup, and Jane Keel. These precious ladies provide some
of the best gospel singing that is available today. Shannon Cartrett heads up the prayer
ministry
for
the
ladies. Personal testimonies, prayer ministries,
and spirit
filled songs
are also a
vital part
of the MLC
Ladies Retreats.
I have had
the privilege of seeing souls
saved and lives changed through the ministry of
Ladies
Retreats. To this I can
only say,
“Praise the
Lord." Helping ladies grow in the Lord and seeing
them become
more like
Christ are
two of the most worthy
goals in
this
ministry. I have seen
God accomplish
this goal time and time again during these retreats. God has
certainly placed his hand upon this ministry.
The MLC Ladies Retreats charge a $65.00 registration fee for attending the semi-nar. This charge goes to pay for the
speakers, singers, snacks, and the conference
room at the Music Road Hotel and Convention Center.
