ABOUT THE Connect RETREAT

Dear friends,

Good news! The Connect Retreat is scheduled for April 30-May2! We will be back at Lakewood Park Bible Camp in Devils Lake, ND. The theme this year is As In Heaven. Our vision and theme for this year, As In Heaven, is rooted in the powerful invitation of Jesus in the Lord’s Prayer.

“Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”(Matthew 6:10, NKJV)

These days will be packed with worship, encouragement, equipping you to step out to make disciples, building friendships and growing together in the Lord.  A continuation of our Reach Her initiative, we strive to give you tools to reach the women in your life with the Gospel of Jesus. 

As we gather together, it is our desire each woman feels they’ve connected with Jesus and each other.  We are better together.  Come expecting to be challenged and blessed!  

Looking forward to seeing each of you! 

Love,

The Connection Team
