Blessed is she who believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her.
Luke 1:45
Rise, Daughter is a retreat for women of the Pacific Northwest Conference. Together we'll worship, fellowship, learn in small groups, and spend moments of quiet reflection. And we'll enjoy our annual favorites: outdoor activities, the craft center, the marketplace, and basket raffles, Abundant Life Center Thailand purse sales, and the Lemon-aid silent auction to support PACNW women's ministry. Join us September 18–20 and be strengthened and restored in community with the Pacific Northwest sisterhood!
