FPC Women’s Retreat, A Time to Heal 

According to the church’s events page, the last date of registration for FPC Women’s Retreat, A Time to Heal was Sunday, April 3. This special event for women will happen at Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside. 

As stated on its website, the past 18 months were undeniably difficult for the world and the church. The pandemic had closed all doors, kept everyone isolated, and inflicted men with fear. 

Additionally, the First Presbyterian Church of San Diego cited the national election as another thing that divided Americans even more. According to the church, everyone is now learning the mental and emotional toll of the past 18 months. 

The First Presbyterian Church of San Diego, thinks perhaps by now everyone should be healing from these traumas. It invites all ladies to FPC Women’s Retreat, A Time to Heal. 

The event will help women to work toward healing for themselves. Furthermore, they will become empowered to help heal their families, communities, and the world in the name of Jesus Christ.
