Come join your SISters as we dedicate ourselves to a special time in the Word, taking advantage of an opportunity to develop closer connections with the Lord and with one another, at the 2025 Forcey Women’s Spring Retreat. One thing we know for sure: as the Bible tells us, God wants His people to walk in freedom and liberty, to be set free spiritually. We’ll be taking a deep dive into Hebrews. We will examine the baggage that weighs us down and unlock the strategy for living free in Christ. Truly, whom the Son sets free is free indeed! Whether you’re 18* or 98, there is a Word here for you. So grab a girlfriend and secure your spot today as space is limited.
*Young ladies who are graduating from high school this spring are also welcome, even if they are 17 years old. See registration details.
Special note: We have special arrangements for our nursing mothers. 🙂
The Bible repeatedly gives us words of encouragement:
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 11:39-12:3, ESV)
