Last Chance for The Mercy Retreat!
Hello, Friends. The last couple weeks have been so precarious, that I’ve not posted much about The Mercy Retreat. So today, I have a some updates. If you don’t know, The Mercy Retreat takes place Friday, September 5-7. (The weekend after Labor Day.) We call it a retreat, but it is really more like a conference for women.
