The title for the Deeply Rooted Women's Retreat 2012 was "Strengthening Your Core." Women students, staff and faculty spent the weekend discussing the principles and disciplines needed to maintain a strong foundation for life. Conversations centered around 1 Corinthians 9:24-27:
"24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize."
