This year’s theme is: “Rise and Shine: Building up yourself, your friends, and your community in God’s love,” inspired by 1 Thessalonians 5:11a – “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up.”

This event is designed to encourage and equip women of all ages. We’ll share stories, practical insights, and time together as we reflect on what it means to rise up and shine God’s love into our daily lives and relationships.
Come ready to be encouraged, make connections, and leave refreshed.
Bring a friend or two, and come as you are. We’d love to see you there!
