ECC Women's Fall Retreat

 
 

September 12-14, 2025

Registration closes September 5, 2025

Deeply Rooted In Love

Ephesians 3:16-17

In our chaotic world, it can be easy to feel uprooted and disconnected from God, others, and even ourselves. At this retreat, we will explore how God calls and equips us to be deeply rooted and firmly established in Christ’s love for us, so we, in turn, can share wider arms of love with others. Come enjoy the beauty of creation at Pilgrim Pines as you deeply breathe in God’s love for you, too.

We invite all women, ages 18 to 108 and beyond, to join us every year for a time of learning, fellowship, and personal reflection in the beautiful setting of our East Coast Conference Center, Pilgrim Pines in Swanzey, NH.

Please note: Full payment is due at the time of registration. Refunds will be issued less a $50 non-refundable deposit for cancellations made more than one week out from the start of the retreat. No refund will be issued for cancellations made within one week of the start of the retreat.

SPEAKER: Chaplain Becky Poor

Becky loves spending time with her husband, Ken, and their adult children, enjoying nature, good music, and yummy meals. For more than 20 years, God has called and equipped her to serve as a Covenant pastor, serving first with youth in Connecticut and as senior pastor at Saranac Community Church in Michigan. She is currently the Chaplain at the retirement center, Covenant Living of Keene in Keene, NH.
