Flourish Women’s Leadership Retreat

Monday, August 12 – Wednesday, August 14, 2024

We are delighted to invite you to Maranatha’s second Flourish Women’s Leadership Retreat! Our goal is to encourage pastors’ wives and those leading women’s ministries in the local church to continue personally flourishing in their walk with the Lord!

Retreat Speakers

Claudia and Dave now travel helping new and struggling churches through Press On! Ministries. Claudia is the author of five Bible study books and The Monday Morning Club, a book of encouragement for women in ministry. The Barbas have three adult children and seven perfect grandchildren.
