The Women’s Youth Worker retreat was a very rich and meaningful time! We focused on rest, connection, resourcing and prayer. Combining it with the Youth Worker Connection was a great launching point that we will consider again in the future. Over the two days we spent together we remembered and shared our call to ministry journeys, acknowledging past pains, present blessings, and hope for a future as we continue to follow God’s call in our lives. It was a relaxed and informal retreat and one we all had moments of leading and receiving. Having that kind of space allowed us to be open and honest, to seek God together in solidarity, as well as individually during our solitude time in God’s creation. We look forward to organizing another retreat in the future!
