Join us for our second annual "Renew & Refresh: Women's Retreat". Escape busy life for a weekend of tranquility, community, worship and growth.
When was the last time a story moved you—made you laugh, cry, or reflect? Stories shape our lives, but the greatest story of all is God’s salvation for creation. From the beginning, God’s Word brought life, and through Jesus, that Word became flesh. Together, we’ll explore how God’s Word comes alive in scripture and in our own lives. Join us for a weekend of reflection, connection, and inspiration! February 7th - 9th, 2025
February 21st - 23rd, 2025 Two weekends of the same programming, pick what works best for you! Check-in by 5:00pm. The first thing on the schedule is dinner at 6:00pm. Optional early arrival (no fee) begins at 1:00 p.m. It will be a weekend full of fellowship, rest, crafts, meals, freetime, guided activities, and craft time! Departure is at 12/noon on Sunday. There are choices for both commuting and staying overnight. |
