Calling the christian ladies…
Rise & Come Alive retreat
Hi! I'm Lauren Sawyer – the founder of “Rise & Come Alive,” a community for Christian businesswomen.
This retreat was inspired by my time in the GIVEN Forum, and I hope to see you there!
Join 30+ women to celebrate living vibrant lives of faith.
Start the day with talks and music, and end in prayer and community.
Time: 9:30am – 5pm Eastern
Location: St. Agnes Church
143 E 43rd St, New York, NY 10017
> Just a block from Grand Central!
The purpose
You are more than what you do.
This one-day retreat is designed specifically for Christian working women who want to step away from the demands of work and rediscover their identity in Christ, focusing on who you are rather than what you do.
