DID YOU KNOW.....that we had our Saturday evening Vespers service at the MWV Fall Retreat 2025 outside around the bonfire? We participated in a short reflective service and then many women chose to stick around, spontaneously choosing songs to sing. According to the retreat evaluations, this was one of the favorite memories from the weekend.

Make sure to put the Fall Retreat 2026 on your calendar! We will be back at Skelton 4-H Retreat Center on Smith Mountain Lake...October 30-November 1st!

Check out the invitation video attached here!
