Message from Speaker: From the very beginning, God created us for connection — with God and with one another. We weren’t meant to go through life alone. That’s why one of our deepest longings is to truly belong. Jesus showed us what belonging looks like by weaving our lives together in friendship. Our friendships have the power to uplift, support, and transform. Join us for a day to renew your spirit and be reminded of the joy, strength, and love that true friendship brings.
