Building Bridges Soul Care Retreat

September 28th

On September 28th, approximately 40 women came together from several local churches to share in fellowship and nurture their minds, bodies, and spirits. Speaker Betsy Hall led us on a deep dive into the rich text of Ruth 1-2. She challenged us to reflect on who the Naomis and Ruths are in our own lives and we discussed what it means for us as Christians to build bridges in our own community. We also played games, heard from local small businesses and non-profits, and learned the art of quilling. It was a joyous day!

Thanks to the Soul Care leadership team, led by Denise Bell, for making this event happen!
