FALL LADIES RETREAT 2024

Welcome!

We are excited for our upcoming Fall Retreat on November 8th-11th, 2024! 


Our theme: Restfulness

For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.” Isaiah 30:15


We hope you will find a well thought out schedule, a comfortable meeting room, delicious food, and a soft place to rest your head at the end of the day. We hope you will have quiet time, time in God’s word, time in nature and time to connect with our sisters in Christ. 

Below you will find
