When Princess Warriors President Lisa Lovette returned from Africa, she knew she had a new mission for the group: putting shoes on children.
The Shoes for Africa Mission is just one of three the women's group has planned for its next retreat. The warriors' seventh retreat, "Blueprint for Victory," is from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Sept. 17 at the Church of the Cross Worship Center on Buckwalter Parkway in Bluffton. Speakers are Stephanie Dowling,
Melissa Jones and Jeanne Lyles.
Princess Warriors are a group of Bluffton women who come together to spread God's word. With each event, the group selects charities as recipients. This year they have selected three charities: Shoes for Africa, A Room at the Inn and Friends and Family.
The women are collecting baby items to donate to A Room at the Inn in Bluffton and on Hilton Head Island. A Room at the Inn helps homeless, single, pregnant women during pregnancy and after the birth of their babies.
Princess Warriors will also help by recruiting volunteers to help with the Friends and Family, a non-denominational mission, which serves the homeless in Savannah. The group meets for prayer, worship, a meal and clothing at 5 p.m. at Chippewa Square each Thursday.
Tickets to the Princess Warriors retreat are $25 for the day and scholarships are available. Lunch and child care will be provided.
