Women’s Retreat

A Weekend of Rest, Renewal & Deepening Faith In the midst of life’s noise and responsibilities, the Lord lovingly calls us to be still—to rest in His presence and rediscover His peace. Join us for a spiritually rich weekend retreat grounded in Psalm 46:10: "Be still and know that I am God." Step away from the busyness of life. Set aside distractions, and allow space for God to speak to your heart.
