Dear Pastor Wives in the NOW District,
You are officially invited to the 2025 Pastors’ Wives Retreat! Picture yourself arriving at the Embassy Suites by Hilton at Washington Square… familiar surroundings, comfortable accommodations, and the convenience of last year’s venue in Tigard, Oregon. From Friday, Feb. 7 through Sunday, Feb. 9, you’ll be part of something special — a gathering designed just for you. Note: Registration is now closed. Please contact Michele to be in the loop for the 2026 retreat.
It’s a time to step away from the demands of ministry, connect with fellow pastors’ wives (active and retired are welcome!), and be renewed both physically and spiritually. For just $249 (double occupancy) or $399 (single occupancy), everything is covered: your room, Friday night snacks, breakfast each morning, a delicious Saturday night dinner, and even a complimentary happy hour each evening.
But what truly sets this weekend apart is the heart of it — time together in God’s Word. This year will feature Donna Snow, a renowned speaker and author, whose depth of insight and gift for teaching will guide through a powerful study titled “Chosen: A Study of Esther.” Donna will walk participants through Esther’s story, where we receive clear biblical direction on how we are chosen, equipped, and given God’s perfect counsel from Scripture. We will see that God’s hand is involved in every detail of our lives — whether or not we perceive His presence — to learn how to live wise, bold journeys of faith every single day. It’s a message that promises to inspire, uplift, and speak directly to the heart. (If you want to know more of what the event is all about, you can read about last year’s retreat here.)
So, mark your calendars. Pack your bags. It’s not just a getaway… it’s a chance to be refreshed, recharged, and reminded that you, too, are chosen for this journey.
