WHAT TO KNOW!
Why an overnight retreat? More time together will result in more opportunities to grow together in faith, build new relationships, and deepen existing relationships. We’ll have evening activities to connect with other women over shared interests and new discoveries. This dedicated time together will be just what we all need to unplug from our regular lives and recharge our spiritual lives.
How is this different from a one-day retreat? More fun! We’ll be getting away (without the travel hassles!) and getting focused on our faith and fellowship with one another.
