Re: Minister's and Wives Retreat to be held.....

Now this would be a gorgeous color theme if you don't want the traditional colors.

I say you decorate with purple green and gold, in honor of mardi gras. Have them all come in costume. =)

Re: Minister's and Wives Retreat to be held.....

If I am understanding this right, you are planning a MINISTERS AND WIVES RETREAT and it is AT A CHURCH??? That is an oxymoron. How can they retreat at a church?

If you can't do this at a nice hotel away from anything "church" then at least do something to qualify it as a retreat. How about renting 2 or 3 massage chairs and get some volunteers to give them back and neck massages? Or do the leg and foot massages. Set up quiet areas for the ladies separate from the men.

IMO, ministers and wives don't want to play games. AND, IMO, a retreat for ministers and wives would be good food, several comfortable seating areas where they can relax and talk. Give the men massages and the women manicures. Do something that help them relax and forget anything about ministry.

I think you have hit on something.
