Episcopal Women's Fall Retreat at Waycross

2025 Women’s Fall Retreat: “In Times of Unprecedented Change: Women Rising Together ” Led by the Rev. Beth Scriven
Come enjoy beautiful Waycross Camp and Conference Center in Brown County Fri Sept 26 - Sun Sept 28. Connect with women from around the diocese, enjoy the gracious hospitality of Waycross, and explore our role as midwives of a future we do not yet grasp.
What new visions, dreams, and realities might emerge out of the time of upheaval and change in which we are living? Where do we find the clarity and courage to help a better world be born into our midst? How can we partner with God and with one another to rise from the dust of what used to be and find our way toward the future God dreams for us all?
Invite a friend, family member, or women from your parish.
All who identify as women are invited and encouraged to attend.
