Hueston Woods Lodge
Have you ever felt weary?
Like you need to rest in God's presence, but can't seem to find the time?
Join us as we take some time away from our regular routine to sit in God's presence and be restored.
We are excited to invite you and announce the details of our upcoming overnight retreat for women. We gather together to revitalize and restore our minds, bodies, and spirits in the fellowship of others who worship and love God, to learn how to live and love like Jesus, and to work together to restore our world with grace and peace.
Throughout the weekend, Pastor Michelle Terry will lead worship, teaching, and small group opportunities. She brings us new energy and focus to look inside ourselves as well as our community of disciples who are seeking restoration. We’ll have the opportunity to participate in breakout sessions, hiking, and relaxing together. We are meeting at the Hueston Woods Lodge which offers us conference space and hotel accommodations in a cozy lodge atmosphere on the banks of Acton Lake and surrounded by hiking trails.
There are two steps to register for the weekend:

We will not assign roommates or be responsible for making roommate matches.
