Women’s Retreat Recap

We had a wonderful time at our recent women’s retreat, PRUNE (Pause, Reflect, Uproot, Nurture, and Entrust). Drawing on our anchor verse, John 15:1–8, we spent time reflecting on where God might be pruning us and what He is asking us to uproot so He can grow something even better in our lives.

Andrea Bishop did an amazing job leading us through our topic. Emily Breckenridge and Julie Sanon shared powerful testimonies about what gardening has taught them about personal and spiritual pruning. After lunch, Lucy Marrero led a relaxing chair yoga session that helped everyone recenter. The weekend was filled with highly engaged women sharing authentic, vulnerable, and deeply impactful discussions.
