Salem Free Clinics' Fall Fundraiser
Women’s Retreat 2024
Women's retreat is October 25-27, 202. You are invited to join us as we step away with other women to the refreshing shores of Cannon Beach and hear how Jesus calls us to model our lives after Him. Jesus took time to recalibrate, routinely stepping away from the crowds to refocus. He understood the need to spend uninterrupted time hearing what God was saying to Him, and we invite you to do the same. Our speaker, Trina Fowler, is the CEO of Salem Free Clinics, and we are beyond excited to hear he share!
Register below and reach out to Morgan with any questions.

Space is limited so register today! If you have any questions, you can email Rachel.
