As we step into June, we are reminded that every season carries an invitation from God. Summer often brings a change of pace, new opportunities, family gatherings, vacations, and moments of rest. No matter what this month holds, our greatest invitation remains the same: to stay close to Jesus.

Finding Zoe Women’s Retreat, presented by WOW, was an absolutely phenomenal day. It was filled with meaningful moments that invited us to slow down, reflect, and reconnect.

We explored practices like journaling, solitude, guided meditation, and even hands-on gardening, each one creating space to hear from God in a fresh way.

A huge thank you to Lacee Green for getting us moving and setting the tone with such energy and heart.

Finding ZOE: A Women’s Half-Day Retreat presented by WOW | this coming Tuesday, May 19, 9:30 am to 1:30 pm

“I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.” — John 10:10 (NKJV)

Jesus didn’t just promise life—He promised ZOE: a God-infused, abundant life filled with purpose, peace, and presence.

Do you find yourself longing for more?
A deeper connection with God?
Freedom from the hurts and habits that linger?
A refreshing of your soul?
A life that feels truly full?

If your heart is saying yes, then this retreat is for you.

Join us for Finding ZOE, a women’s half-day retreat designed to help you slow down, draw near to God, and rediscover the abundant life He offers. Together, we’ll explore meaningful Christian spiritual practices that have helped believers connect with God for generations.

Through simple, hands-on experiences like art, gardening, and intentional reflection, you’ll learn practical ways to invite God into your everyday life. Create space to be renewed, encouraged, and inspired—surrounded by a community of women who are also seeking more of Him.

Come ready to breathe, be refreshed, and step into a deeper, fuller life with God.

We eat, laugh and pray together!

There’s something really special about being part of a team that shows up for each other. Not just when it’s easy, but when it takes effort, patience, and trust. Every person brings something valuable, and when we lean into that, we become stronger together than we could ever be on our own.

Thank you to everyone that made this staff breakfast/lunch happen today!

Mother’s Day is almost here, and we’re so excited for a beautiful Sunday together at ENCOUNTER. 🌸

We’ve planned some meaningful moments to celebrate the incredible women in our lives, including a special video we can’t wait to share, a simple flower market on the patio, and free professional photos for you and your loved ones.

It’s going to be such a special day filled with joy, gratitude, and connection, and we would love for you to be part of it.
