Women's & Young Women's Spring Retreat 2026
May 2, 2026
Enough
So many women quietly carry the weight of not feeling like they are enough—trying harder, doing more, and still wondering if it’s enough. But God never meant for us to think, I’m not enough, and let it define us. Based on the book Enough: Discovering a God Who is Enough When You’re Not, this one-day retreat will walk you through three powerful invitations: to believe what God says about you, to talk back to the lies that hold you captive, and to live with courage and purpose. Through Scripture, storytelling, and practical application, you’ll be encouraged to stop striving, start believing, and walk boldly in the life God has called you to live.
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name; you are mine.”
- Isaiah 43:1
Join us for beautiful music, rich inspiration, fellowship, give-aways, and delicious meal. Invite your friends, family neighbors, and co-workers to join for this special time together – hope to see you there!

The Companionship of the Spirit
What does it look like to have the Holy Spirit as a companion? Jesus gives the Spirit as a gift to every believer; do we know what it means to experience Him? Through personal stories and the words of Scripture, we will explore the topic to discover the abundant life Jesus wants us to have.

Petals of Purpose
Flowers are a gift that cannot be refused, and often they are an opening wedge for meeting, connecting, and ministering to people.

EveryGirl
At Ultimate Mission, we equip women around the world to bring healing and hope into their own communities. We train the wives of pastors and Bible workers to serve as village health workers—teaching simple health principles and helping their neighbors know when to seek care. Through their work, lives are being changed every day. And recently, that need has opened the door to something new. Through our EveryGirl. project, we’re helping provide menstrual products to girls and women who can’t afford them—both around the world and right here at home. Today, I invite you to be part of this mission—by hosting a sewing group, collecting products, or simply sharing this need. Together, we can bring dignity and hope to women everywhere.
