Women-in-Ministry Retreat
For all women under appointment in the PNW conference 

Clergywomen! This retreat is for you. It is a time to gather for fun, relaxing, sharing stories both sobering and inspirational. It is a time for worship, playing games, reading books, taking a nap, or going for a hike. Perhaps most importantly, it is an opportunity to remember our collective journey as women in the United Methodist Church- to sing our songs and share strength for the future as we celebrate how far we’ve come.

Still not sure you want to attend? We offer a discount for first-time attendees. Contact Bonnie or Molly for more information. 

If you have questions or are unsure about anything, feel free to contact Bonnie Chandler-Warren (Tacoma: Mason UMC) or Molly Fraser (Puyallup: Light of the Hill UMC).

Online Registration is now closed. Please contact  Molly Fraser for more information about last minute registration options.
