Women’s Retreat 2025
Pack your flip-flops—we’re heading to the beach! Join us for a soul-refreshing getaway August 22–24 on beautiful Bolivar Island.
Members, please sign up by July 20 to secure your spot! After that, we’ll open registration to friends and family—and it may fill up quickly.
Registrations close August 1. After this date, we’ll accept sign-ups if space allows, but we can’t guarantee t-shirts or full supplies.
Want to come early? The house is reserved starting Thursday, August 21, and you’re invited. The cost for this bonus day has been covered by generous donors.
Location: The retreat house is about 1½ hours from the church. Exact address will be shared with registrants via email and text closer to the date.
✨ Special Guest & Theme
We’re thrilled to welcome Jessica Leffew, Women’s Ministry Director at Sugar Creek Baptist Church (Sugar Land, TX), as our guest speaker.
This year’s theme is Be Still, drawn from Psalm 46:10: “Be still, and know that I am God.” Come ready to slow down, hear from the Lord, and reconnect—with Him and one another.
