Ladies Retreat
*All rooms are full.  Please contact the office at 864-879-4878 to be placed on a waiting list.*
“Life is filled with beauty and disappointment. Some days, we feel energized and capable. On other days, we are completely worn down and filled with questions. This is our human response to a fallen world. We long for consistent order, joy, peace, and relationship. As women of God, this longing can only truly be filled in one place – the presence of God. Ladies, let’s get away to the beautiful mountains of NC and linger IN HIS PRESENCE together.

“Not by might, nor by strength, but by my Spirit,” says the Lord Almighty.

Join us for the 2024 Ladies Retreat at The Cove in Asheville, NC on Friday – Sunday, May 3 – 5.  A $50 deposit is required to hold your spot and the final payment is due by Sunday, April 21 at packet pick up in the Fellowship Center following the 10:30 AM worship service.  Our guest speaker this year will be Rhonda Holland.  If you do not have a roommate and would like to be paired with someone, please register for a DOUBLE room.
