During this get-away, women of all ages will enjoy comfortable lodging, delicious meals, sharing, worship & fellowship. It’s an incredible weekend of teaching, learning, and growing in God’s Word provided by a guest speaker and teacher. The group shares meals and lodging together, while the guest speaker guides the discussion and focus of the casual daily agenda.
