Keynote Session with Karen: “Fearfully Made”
We are thrilled to have Toni Ruffino return as our worship leader. Toni is from Houston, Texas,
and has been with us since our very first Getaway. Toni is wholeheartedly a “girl after God’s own
heart” and leads us straight to the Father’s heart in worship. She will also be with us at the EPIC

Also returning for the sixth year is our Prayer Team ladies from Madill, offering each participant a
time of one-on-one, personal prayer. And for the third straight year, a team of 16-18 women from
Convergence Church in Ft. Worth will be available for individual times of ministry. Trained in discerning God’s voice and direction, they encourage each believer in their unique gifting and calling.
In church Sunday, Lianna Scholz shared her powerful and transformational experience during
these times of prayer and ministry. We feel incredibly blessed that so many women from various
communities and churches freely give of their time and hearts to make the Getaway with God both
a corporate and personal experience of God’s amazing love.

Friday evening (room 116) and after lunch Saturday (room 116)
Have you ever been convinced that your mask of perfection make you look as good and as happy as everyone
else? That’s what the enemy wants us to believe. In reality it just weighs us down and acts as a barrier to intimacy with God. Join Amy and Hollye as they teach from the book “The Secret of the Lord” by Dannah Gresh.
It’s real, it’s reviving, and it’s the door to spiritual power.

WOW! Who would ever want to miss such an event?
Fellowship and blessing will abound! But truly, it won’t
be the same without each and every lady from First
Church present. Please invite your friends and family
for a fabulous girl-and-God-time. Together let’s make
this year’s Getaway the most God-honoring, Spiritfilled, Jesus-loving weekend ever!
In today’s image-saturated society, insecurity among women is reaching epidemic levels. We worry about
everything--from our looks to our finances to our relationships. But it doesn't have to be this way. It's time to
say, "So long!" to insecurity and "Hello!" to real, lasting, soul-deep security. Begin the journey to shed your
old insecurities and put on clothing of strength and dignity that can only be found through Christ. It's time to
focus on becoming the wives, mothers, sisters, daughters and friends God intended us to be.
“Hearing God” Wendy Dermott and Elaine Pattillo
Saturday morning (Main room) and Saturday after lunch (room 115A)
God loves to talk to His people and wants to share His heart with us. In this breakout session, Elaine and
Wendy will lay a foundation for how we hear God and how we respond to what we hear.
“ Don’t Bite the Bait!” Teri Beane
Saturday morning (room 116) and late Saturday afternoon (Main room)
John 8:32 And you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.
You are not here by accident or by mistake; you are here because God has a plan for you. Unfortunately,
Satan has a plan for you as well… a plan to keep you from embracing who you are in Christ and your
noble ancestry. Join Teri as she teaches from her book, NO MORE!! co-written with Linda McAlister.
Discover Satan’s methods of deception, how we unknowingly give him “legal” access into our life, and
how to break free from those defeating mindsets and walk in our new identity.
“Ordinary Mom, Extraordinary God” Kori Casey
Saturday after lunch (Main room) and late Saturday afternoon (room 116)
Psalm 127:1 states that "unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” I am not a
perfect mom, and the good news is I'm not called to be! Come discover God's truth about parenting
and the power He offers through the Holy Spirit to build a house on the solid foundation of God's truth.
