January 30, 2026 - January 31, 2026
Come and be filled.
Women of Hope, A Day of Retreat provides a simple and sacred space in which women can be filled with Jesus, the Author of Hope. This day will fill your soul and transform your heart. Join us as we journey through the Gospels, guided by the example of Mary of Bethany. In a world that encourages us to hurry and hustle, Mary of Bethany invites us to recover the ancient path of stillness. She sits at the Lord's feet, listens intently, surrenders her heart, and loves without measure.
