Undergrads, join us for a two-night getaway on Vashon Island, WA, May 19th-21st! We will spend our time in search of a deeper relationship with Christ and our community of women. During retreat, we'll be listening to talks, having time for prayer, and growing in community through fun small group activities, crafts, and sports. For scholarships, contact bayli@uwnewman.org.
