Join us for a wonderful weekend of rest, fellowship and encouragement as we engage in worship, teachings and prayer. Prayer stations will be available throughout the weekend as an option for individuals to reflect on and deepen their relationship with God. Space for silence and quiet will be offered for those who wish to take a step back from ordinary life and find rest. Other free time options include crafts, games, horseback riding* and massages*. (*Additional fees apply.)
Whether you are coming by yourself, with your family, or with a group of ladies from church, all ladies are welcome.
