Thursday | December 5 | 5pm + 7:30pm | Sanctuary

This special service has been prepared as a gift from us to you! We know how the holidays can be full of extra activities that are both fun and exhausting. As women, we are often so immersed in the planning and executing of all the holiday festivities that we never have a moment to settle our hearts and connect our spirits with the beauty and wonder of Jesus Christ at Christmas Time.

Come join us at 5pm or 7:30pm, and make sure to invite any women in your lives!

For any questions, please reach out to the women's ministry team at womensministry@riverwest.org.

Women's Retreat | February 2025
Every day until Feb 9, 2025 and is an *ALL DAY* event

Friday-Sunday | February 7-9 | Cannon Beach Conference Center, Cannon Beach, OR

Do you ever find yourself overwhelmed, burdened, distracted, exhausted, or disillusioned as you face the various realities of life? Do you long for peace, joy, and clarity of purpose to be the normative emotions and experiences of your days? 

 

Join us as we gather at Cannon Beach for a series of practical and inspiring messages by professional organizer, Jaime Wallace. Jaime will help us attend to our inner lives, looking to the word of God to instruct and encourage us as we have a conversation around cultivating a well ordered soul. We will examine the habits of formation that shape our lives and wrestle with the very real ways that our inner lives and loves direct our decisions, our responses, and our worship.  

 

You'll also have the opportunity to enjoy walks on the beautiful sands of Cannon Beach, delicious food, new friendships, loads of laughter, meaningful conversations, and uplifting worship.

REGISTER HERE by January 28, 2025.

For questions, please contact Cynthia King at cynthia@riverwest.org.
