Weekend Retreats

The following series include 3-4 sessions suitable for a full weekend retreat. More condensed presentations on the same topics are available for single events.

Grace Series

This powerful series on grace will help the audience identify God’s amazing grace at work in their own lives. Ellen will share short testimonials of the power of God’s grace in my own spiritual journey over the past 46 years.

  1. Reinstated by Graceto relationship with God
  2. Transformed by Gracein all of life’s circumstances
  3. Healed by Gracein times of failure
  4. Abandoned to Gracethrough complete surrender

Prayer Series

Some of the toughest questions asked today about prayer are: Why pray when we serve a sovereign God? Does prayer work? Does prayer make a difference in my life? Through this series, men and women will learn to understand the purpose, power, and practice of prayer.

  1. Understanding the purpose of prayer
  2. Understanding the power of prayer
  3. How to become a person of prayer
  4. Practical steps to practicing prayer

I also offer a monthly one-day prayer retreat for women. See my calendar for details.
