Fall Rally FAQ


Is the Fall Rally Free? YES,  for everyone.

What are the times of the rally? Friday night registration will begin at 6:00....service at 6:30 and be done by 9:00. Saturday breakfast is at 8:00 a.m. . Our day will conclude by 3:00 p.m. 

Can I attend if I don’t attend PWOC? ABSOLUTELY

Can I attend if I don’t attend the base chapel? ABSOLUTELY

What is a “fall rally”?  - Think of it as a mini-retreat: elements of a retreat – without the expense or the overnight stay.  One response on feedback forms last year, is that our women would like more time to get to develop relationships. Similarly, we  heard small groups at the spring retreat were a highlight of our year. The Fall Rally is designed to spiritually challenge, provide opportunity for you to form new friendships or renew old ones after the summer travel season, and provide an easy spot for you to sign up for fall Bible studies etc – if you desire.  There will be speakers, a panel discussion around our theme, an outreach project, small group sessions and plain fun.

I know Renee isn't speaking -who is? De'Etta will speak at one of our sessions, Heike Messer (missionary) will speak at another session, De'Etta will guide us through an interactive session. 

Is this just a ploy to get PWOC volunteers? No. You are welcome to attend even if you do not attend PWOC or do not plan to attend PWOC. The event is sponsored by PWOC. We will provide opportunity for you to sign up for fall studies, we will display outreach opportunities….but our goal is for this event to be a blessing to all who attend – even if you choose not to participate further in PWOC. Obviously, we’d love to have you join us for our Bible studies if you are not already plugged in to a Bible study that is meeting your needs.

Can I bring my baby? Yes.

Will you be providing children's ministry? No.  However, if you need names of youth who are willing to baby-sit, please let us know. Our concern for providing a program for the children was originally space (we weren't in the chapel) and now is the length of the day.

My schedule is up in the air, can I attend if I don't register? Yes. If you think you may attend, it helps us to plan if we include you in our number. Please consider registering with Windy, but by all means, do come if your weekend schedule unexpectedly clears up!

I can't attend the Fall Rally but would like to sign up for Fall Studies, where can I do this? Again, early registration serves to insure we have enough material and assign rooms properly. However, if you haven't been able to sign up at your chapel service and don't attend the Rally, you may sign up at the first study -Monday, 13 Sept @ 6:30 p.m. (Covenant) and Tuesday, 14 September @ 9:20 a.m.  Please contact Sarah with any Bible study related questions. More Bible study info can be found here

How can I help with the Fall Rally? We can find a variety of spots for help...would you like to run the audio or slides? Would you like to help set up Friday afternoon? Would you like to serve on the retreat team as we move into planning the spring retreat?  Let De'Etta know where you interest lies and we'll plug you in. 

If you have any other questions, feel free to email De'Etta
