Refresh Ladies Retreat

September 26-28, 2025

Flourishing in Hope

Are you flourishing as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ or are you floundering in your faith? 
Hope can make all the difference!
Romans 15:13

Women of all ages can look forward to being refreshed and renewed for a weekend each September at the Ladies Retreat. It is promised to be a time of growth in their personal intimacy with Christ.

There are many fun and meaningful activities planned. Attendees are encouraged to bring a lawn chair for a personal solo time with the Lord! See the planned schedule below.

There are several pricing options based on whether you come for the entire weekend or just part of it. We are happy to have you join us for whatever you can manage!

The price for those over the age of 24 is based on how long you can stay:

  • Full weekend (Friday-Sunday) – $100
  • Friday-Saturday – $75
  • Saturday-Sunday – $75
  • Saturday only – $40

The price is discounted for those under the age of 25.

There is also an optional craft that will cost $10 to participate for the supplies. This can be added during the registration process.

How to Register

​You can register by doing one the following:

If you are registering by telephone or email, please include your full name, date of birth, address and email address and which option you are registering for (full weekend or one of the partial weekend options).

2025 Speaker – Barb MacDougall

We are delighted to have Barb MacDougall to speak to us for this year’s ladies retreat. 

Barb was born in Moncton, NB and born again 16 years later! She married Harold in 1985 and they have 3 grown children and 3 granddaughters!! Harold and Barb were commended to the Lords work in 2003 serving at Everyday Publications, Inc. (EPI) in Port Colborne, ON.

Harold went to be with the Lord in March 2023 and she has been navigating life as a widow with steadfast presence of her Saviour. She continues to serve at EPI and enjoys her family and investing in Christian women as the Lord leads!

Schedule

Solo Time
One of the best parts of the Refresh Ladies Retreat is the “solo time” allowing each of us to spend time with the Lord to hear from Him. We allow for this time after each of the messages. We encourage you to bring a lawn chair or blanket for you to use during your solo time.
