Refresh Retreat 2024

Refresh: Before You Share Your Faith

What thoughts and feelings come to mind when you think of the topic of sharing your faith? If you are like most, you probably feel some degree of fear or guilt. Maybe you are unmotivated or feel ill-prepared or perhaps you don’t think you should share it at all. You’re not alone if evangelism is a struggle, if your feelings aren’t all positive. Maybe the thought of a retreat on sharing your faith strikes fear or dread in your heart. Rest assured, at the women’s retreat on September 14, there won’t be guilt-inducing pressure. You can expect encouraging teaching balanced with refreshing and meaningful activities to motivate and equip us in sharing our faith.

Women’s Ministry kicks off the 2024-2025 season with a day retreat where we will enjoy food, friends, and nature while exploring the topic of sharing our faith. Using material adapted from the book Before You Share Your Faith by Matt Smethurst and other resources, we will come away more evangelism ready and be refreshed in the process.
