The IMI Singles Retreat was a great success!  We had thirty-two singles from different states.  The purpose of the Singles Retreat was to give guidelines about dating, discuss mistakes we make in the beginning of a relationship, compatibility, facing singleness after divorce, being content in a relationship,  being single and much more. We had a very active group this year!

I want to thank Becky Thompson who was a key player of this event coordinating and making sure that all the details were covered. I also want to thank the rest of the serving team that did an outstanding job- Diane Hicks, Sheila and Diane. Our singles were concerned about going back home with a little bit of extra weight because the food was so good! In addition, I want to thanks Curt Lubben, the fix-it man who put the sound system together. Finally, I want to thank all the Singles for coming, helping out, and participating!

We got such good feedback from the singles that we decided to plan one again. Many singles don’t realize how much there is to learn about dating. Learning how to avoid bad relationships can save a lot of pain in the future. It can even prevent a bad marriage that would later end in divorce. We need to learn to catch the common mistakes and find out what we want before getting into a serious relationship. I was single for a long time before I found my husband. I have a passion for single people and encouraging them into healthy relationships.

Singles Retreat feedback : 
Bekha:
This was a great conference! I learned so much. Both Wendy and I both wished that we would have had this information when we First started dating! It would have saved us both much heartache.
Thank you both so much for giving me the tools I needed to move forward and leave my fears behind. This type of teaching is SO needed, and you have made it so understandable and easy. All mothers should have this information to pass on to their daughters before they start seriously dating. I just wanted to let you know that your hard work and efforts are much appreciated! I have already shared much of this information with friends.........Please feel free to share this testimony with whoever you would like. Bekah

Greg: The Singles Retreat was excellent to help us think more about relationships instead of just going by feelings and get into problems later.
