“Fragrant Beauty” A Women’s Retreat explored the many fragrances of God’s story; through Biblical history, present in creation, and in the beauty of yourself. We enjoyed the opportunity to breathe in many Biblical fragrances, create a painting, and explore God’s word reflecting on the definitions placed upon “beauty”.
We'd love to have you join us on the float. You can ride and sing or walk along side and throw candy. Whatever you choose to do, we'd love to have you with us!
