About the theme

Life has a way of breaking us down — through loss, change, disappointment, or simply the weight of everyday struggles. But Scripture reminds us that God is the Master Builder, meeting us in the valley of dry bones, guiding us brick by brick, and transforming us into new creations in Christ.  At our women’s retreat, Reconstruction: Beauty in the Broken Places, we’ll explore stories of faith, resilience, and renewal. Through Scripture, film, discussion, and creative activities, we’ll discover how God brings hope out of ruins, strength out of struggle, and beauty out of brokenness. 

Come as you are — no matter what’s cracked or crumbling — and leave reminded that in God’s hands, your story is still under construction, and the best is yet to come.

Cost

The cost for the retreat is $110 per person. This covers Friday night hors d’oeuvres, Saturday breakfast buffet, and Saturday lunch (Mixed Berry Chicken Salad, rolls, fresh fruit, coffee, hot tea, iced tea and dessert). It also covers the cost of the meeting room we will use for the event.  All payments are non-refundable as of February 1, 2026.
