Each year, Crowned for Ashes with Songs in the Night has the honor of hosting discipleship groups of 8-10 young widows for our crowned retreats.

our vision for this time together is to share hope,  provide rest and respite away from the stressors of life & Build Relationship with other women who understand the burden of grieving the loss of their husband.

this faith-centered retreat will shower these ladies with special gifts, good food & relaxing days at the beach + the opportunity to share & learn from others on a similar path.  They'll leave here with a new sisterhood of fellow widows & ongoing support & encouragement from our widow's ministry, Songs in the Night.

so much love and attention goes into preparing for their arrival and there are several ways you can help us!!
