“Fragrant Beauty” A Women’s Retreat explored the many fragrances of God’s story; through Biblical history, present in creation, and in the beauty of yourself. We enjoyed the opportunity to breathe in many Biblical fragrances, create a painting, and explore God’s word reflecting on the definitions placed upon “beauty”.
