Park Manor & Advocate UCC Present: Women’s Weekend 2025

If you’ve been searching for a way to pause, reset, and revive your faith and inner strength, Park Manor & Advocate UCC invite you to a very special Women’s Weekend on Saturday, November 8th, and Sunday, November 9th, 2025.

This year’s theme, “Seeking & Embracing Inner Peace”, is inspired by Romans 14:19, encouraging us to “pursue what makes for peace and mutual upbuilding.” Together, we’ll explore what it truly means to open our hearts to God’s presence while learning to handle conflict with compassion, prayer, and spiritual maturity.

What to Expect

The weekend will be filled with opportunities to grow spiritually, emotionally, and relationally through:

✔ Interactive Workshops – hands-on sessions designed to help you reflect, discuss, and learn practical tools for everyday peacebuilding.
✔ Scriptural Study & Prayer – uncover timeless wisdom from God’s Word and experience the power of prayer in community.
✔ Complimentary Lunch – enjoy breaking bread and connecting with other women of faith.
✔ Fellowship & Reflection – a safe, supportive space to share, heal, and strengthen your walk with God.
✔ Two Spirit-Filled & Fun Days – filled with joy, encouragement, and the energy of women uplifting one another.
✔ Parting Gift for Everyone – mementos to remember our time together.
