The Northeastern Conference Women’s Ministry Retreat, held October 8–11, 2026, in Orlando, Florida, gave women a chance to step away from daily responsibilities and make room for worship, fellowship, and spiritual renewal.

 

Centered on the call to “Elevate…Her,” the retreat encouraged us to reflect on our identity in Christ, recognize our worth, and embrace the purpose God has placed within each of us. Through prayer, presentations, and shared moments of encouragement, we were reminded that God continues to shape women into vessels of courage, strength, and influence.

 

The gathering provided space to nurture sisterhood. Traveling together, sharing meals, participating in the program, and connecting across churches created opportunities to strengthen relationships and support one another. The drama presentations highlighted biblical women’s experiences, inviting reflection on how God works through imperfect circumstances to accomplish His purposes. It also reminded us of the Last Supper Jesus had with His disciples.

 

The Saturday evening gala offered another occasion for fellowship and celebration, including recognition of October birthday celebrants. These moments complemented the retreat’s spiritual emphasis and highlighted the joy of belonging to a community of faith.

 

We extend heartfelt thanks to the Women’s Ministry leadership, presenters, planning team, volunteers, and every woman whose participation contributed to this gathering. We acknowledge those whose prayers, generosity, and assistance supported the journey.

 

As we return to our homes, churches, and communities, may the retreat’s message continue to guide us: elevate another woman, encourage her faith, affirm her worth, and help her move forward with confidence in God. May our renewed commitment become daily ministry in action.
