A women's retreat was held in early March at the Grand Union Hotel in Fort Benton. While organized by some women from the Chinook Alliance Church, it was open to any who wished to attend. The theme of the retreat was "Broken Beautiful" from a book and video series by Ann Voskamp entitled "The Broken Way." Thirty-seven women from Chinook and surrounding areas attended the two day event.

Participants at the retreat heard repeatedly that "the good brokenness of God heals our bad brokenness. Only the wounds of God can heal our wounds." The theme song for the retreat was "The Broken Beautiful."
