2027 Retreat Theme "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"
Ecclesiastes 3:1, 6 (KJV) “To everything there is a season… a time to keep, and a time to cast away.”
Enough is enough. You’ve spent so much time being strong for everyone else. Supporting the ministry. Encouraging others. Carrying responsibilities few people understand. But somewhere along the way, you became exhausted trying to be everything for everybody. Just know, this retreat was created with YOU in mind as it will be a transformational gathering designed to refresh, restore, and remind you that your value is not found in performance, perfection, or pressure, but in who God says you are.
This is your moment to:
- Release emotional and spiritual burdens
- Break free from burnout and people-pleasing
- Reclaim your identity and peace
- Receive healing, renewal, and strength
- Walk confidently in your God-given purpose
No more carrying what God never assigned to you. No more silently struggling. No more losing yourself while serving others. Because: You are enough. And enough is enough!
