CLOTHED Women's Retreat
CLOTHED is a completely FREE overnight retreat for women ages 18–28, centered around Colossians 3:12–14 and the beautiful truth of what it means to be clothed in Christ.
Throughout the weekend, we'll gather for worship led by the Dordt Worship Team, three main sessions with our guest speaker Rachelle from LifeLight, meaningful breakout sessions, small groups, fellowship, and opportunities to build Christ-centered friendships!
Our heart behind this retreat is to create a space where young women from different churches and communities can come together, grow in their relationship with Jesus, and be reminded of who they are in Him. While Diamonds meets at Carmel, our ministry is made up of women from many different churches and communities, and we would love to see that same unity throughout this weekend!
