OCTOBER 24-26

SPRUCE LAKE RETREAT CENTER

There are moments when God calls us to pause, pull away from the noise, and meet with Him face to face. This retreat is one of those moments.

“Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come away with me.”
Song of Solomon 2:10

Whether you’re feeling weary, hungry for deeper connection, or simply in need of quiet time with the Lord, this weekend is for you. From the moment you arrive at Spruce Lake’s peaceful mountain setting, you’ll be invited to rest, be refreshed, and hear the voice of the One who calls you His beloved.

Expect meaningful worship, encouraging teaching from guest speaker Jaime Barkwell, rich conversations with other women, and intentional time carved out just for you and God. Whether you come with a group of friends or step away alone, this retreat will be a space where your soul can breathe.

Come ready to be poured into, renewed, and reminded of how deeply known and loved you are.
