Women's Retreat - Come and Meet With Me
“…[Jesus] said to them, ‘Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest’”. (Mark 6:31)
We invite the ladies of Providence to join us for a weekend of refreshment in God’s Word as we retreat to Hollifield Leadership Center in Conover, NC. This beautiful setting provides the perfect backdrop for a weekend to come away with our Savior and rest in Him. Gloria Hegarty will be challenging us with truths from God’s Word and there will be plenty of time for rest and reflection, as well as getting to know other ladies and having fun together! You won’t want to miss this opportunity to grow closer to the Lord and to other women!

Speaker – Gloria Hegarty
Married for 22 short years to her "beloved" Barry, Gloria is also proud mom to her 15 year old son, Jonathan. Originally from California, Gloria loves all things "southern" and has called Raleigh home since 1998. As a family, they have loved attending Providence since 2007.
"Handling accurately the word of God" continues to be her deepest desire and studying God's word, the delight of her heart. Gloria's passion is for women to fall head over heels in love with Jesus, the only Truth that will ever set them free. In keeping with that, she leads and teaches Bible study with the primary goal of helping women discover truth for themselves and then live their lives in light of it.
