Women of Fauntleroy Church, I loved the retreat we had together in April! It was wonderful to be with each other again…praying, creating, moving, laughing, and building community. I left the retreat feeling filled up and yet craving more dedicated time in which prayer and creativity could intersect in my life. That’s why I jumped at the chance to register for the UCC Northwest Regional Women’s Retreat, taking place November 4-6!

The retreat, themed “Waves of Peace”, is taking place on the Oregon Coast at Salishan Lodge in Gleneden Beach. There is a keynote speaker, workshops, worship, time for prayer, meals to share, and even an optional choir to join! We will be gathering with women of the UCC and their friends to celebrate and renew old friendships, make new ones, and connect with our spirits and hearts.

I invite you to join me, Gwen, and Tina (one of the retreat founders!!) in attending this year’s NRWR. Take a look at the retreat website, https://www.nrwr.org, for more information on the workshops, schedule, leaders, COVID protocol, and the lodge. Participants register for the retreat and a guestroom separately. Register today!
