Weekend in the Word 2017: God’s Design for Men and Women

Weekend in the Word is an annual weekend retreat, whereby believers of all ages are presented with hands-on, practical teaching in one of three areas: evangelism, Scripture, and personal living.

The object of this year’s course is to look at the God-given hierarchy for gender roles: before the fall, after the fall, in marriage, in the home, in the church and finally in courtship. We will spend time in Genesis 1 – 3 looking at the roles God gave to the genders in His perfect creation in the garden — before the fall, and immediately after the fall. From Titus 2, we will look at the high calling of women in the home, and then over to Ephesians 5 where we will look at the roles in marriage. In 1 Timothy we will look at the roles of both genders in the church and finally in 1 Thessalonians 4 we will look at courtship. I hope by the end of this course we all will find freedom, assurance, even boldness, to stand firm in our God-given roles as men and women.

The registration fee covers meals, rental, syllabus, and honorarium, but there is no cost for accommodations because out-of-the-area attendees are billeted with local church families. Once you register we will arrange for you to stay with one of the local church families. We will arrange billets for those driving more than an hour to Foremost–some of our host homes are almost an hour from Foremost themselves–otherwise we ask that you stay in your own home to allow space for others.
