Women’s Retreat 2026
October 2-4
We all have a deep, God-shaped need to Belong. Join us at Sugar Pine this fall for a transformative journey through Psalm 139, revealing God’s unshakeable promises of acceptance, value, and belonging. Enjoy beautiful worship, encouraging teaching, and times of relaxation. There is always great food, exciting activities like our ropes course, and moments for coffee with friends by the fire. Come and be reminded what it feels like to “Belong.”
