Butman Camp's
20th Annual Ladies Retreat
February 28th-March 1st, 2025
from 6:30pm-4pm
Butman Camp’s Ladies Retreat is for all women, young and old, and from all denominations and walks of life. The vision is to bring ladies together for a time of fellowship, worship, rest, & reflection. Our prayer is that each lady will receive something personal from the Lord and that each lady will be refreshed, restored, rejuvenated, and replenished to go back into their places of influence to change the lives around them.
The retreat includes a Friday evening and Saturday event using the campgrounds, lunch, and inspiring talks by guest speakers. We will worship together with worship leaders, and have time to hike, fellowship, pray, chat, and much more. Won’t you come and get away and accept the invitation to Feast?!? You won’t regret it!
We begin at 6:30 pm on Friday and ends at 4 pm on Saturday. Overnight accommodations are available. If you prefer just to attend the entire day Saturday, we will begin registration at 8:30 am and Worship at 9 am. Registration for both Friday and Saturday will be in the Lobby of the Mabee Conference Room.
Full Retreat cost: $150
Friday Evening Only Cost: $60
Saturday Only Cost: $105

Patti Davis
I’m certain God has a sense of humor when dealing with those of us who are impatient, type-A, organizer kind of people - I’m living proof! When I slip into the habit of not seeking God first and not trusting His timing, the chaos begins to creep in. Squirrels run rampant in my head, wrenches fly into best-laid plans, glitches invade my computer, or life presents a whole giant tree of lemons (and I’m not a fan of lemonade). I know there must be a lesson in the chaos, right? God instructs me to give grace to the chaos creators (even when it’s me). Yikes!
As a wife for 35 years, a mom of two grown children, the professed “Warden” of an aging parent, and the owner of a very spoiled Boston Terrier, I have learned how to juggle many hats. When I’m not navigating a household of multigenerational family dynamics, I manage the Public Safety Programs at the West Central Texas Council of Governments in Abilene.
With over 30 years of experience in the public service field, I know a thing or two about “serving” in the workplace, my community, and at home. Yet God designed each of us to “serve” with one purpose in mind – to serve Jesus and His people with selfless, loving actions. My efforts are far from perfection but continually lead me to a deeper relationship with my Savior. In turn, the relationship has allowed me to experience little glimpses of heaven: joyful giving, God’s perfect peace, and a hope that makes the world's chaos pale in comparison. Sound too good to be true? It’s not! Sincerely ask Jesus for it, and He will give some to you, too!
