Renewal Women's Retreat

https://www.renewalwomen.com/

Renewal is more than just a women's conference, it's a women's community. And the Renewal Women's Retreat is the place where our community is strengthened. Renewal weekend is jam packed full of activities, teaching, worship, space to rest, service projects, food and, of course, coffee. All with the intention of bringing us closer to the Father, closer to the world around us and closer to one another. This year's retreat will focus in on the topic of Renewal. We will dive into Romans 12:1-2 and take a deeper look at the process of transformation. God has called us all into a life time of renewing our minds. It takes time, energy and other people. Together we can give more, experience more and do more than we ever imagined possible. Together renewal is made possible.

Voice: A Gathering of Women Called by God

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/voice-a-gathering-for-women-called-by-god-tickets-62854179543

There’s a unique way God wants to show himself through you. What’s holding you back?

Whether you lead in your home, workplace, community or church, God wants to show himself to the world through your unique voice—your story, your whole life.

Come, meet women who are also exploring how he wants to use them. Hear stories, share conversations, take part in creative experiments, pray and discern together. Bring your hopes and hesitations. Leave with a clearer vision of what it means to obey his call...and a few new friends for the journey.
