ENTRUSTED CONNECTIONS MINISTRY'S 19TH ANNUAL WOMEN'S RETREAT
|
Attending the Entrusted Connections Women’s Retreat for many years has been a transformative and deeply enriching experience. Each year, I leave with a renewed sense of purpose, closer to God, and more connected to the women who share this journey.
Over time, these retreats have fostered a space where real relationships flourish—relationships built on faith, trust, and vulnerability. Bishop Gale ensures that we, as women who were once strangers, have become sisters in Christ, confidants, and prayer warriors as she plans, leads, and inspires us along with her team. Together, we have laughed, cried, encouraged, and held each other accountable, forming a bond that extends well beyond the retreat itself.
The teachings, worship, and shared moments have not only strengthened my spiritual walk but have also equipped me with tools to navigate life’s challenges with grace and courage. I am forever grateful for this community, for the friendships that continue to grow, and for the way God uses Entrusted Connections to uplift and unite us as His daughters.
These retreats have truly been a gift, and I look forward to many more years of growth, fellowship, and God’s presence among us.
Blessings,
Reverend Dr. Mrytle Williams

Engaging the Whole Woman
The mind, body, and spirit are addressed at the Entrusted Connections Ministries (ECM) Women’s Conference, which is held annually at the beginning of March. For nineteen years, Bishop Gale LeGrand Williams and the ECM team have presented speakers, workshops, and worship that inspire females to dare to look at the challenges in their lives and to think critically on how they can effectively address them. Plenary sessions and workshops are challenging and fun, laughter and tear-washed – all these acts accompany any process of change. Guests are invited to look within and choose which facilitates transformation during the conference and in the year ahead.
There is a subtlety that embraces the conference each year, and it communicates to the women how much they are valued. The conference is always held in a luxurious hotel. Without a single word, this setting underscores the significant worth of every woman in attendance. Bishop Gale LeGrand Williams and Entrusted Connection Ministries (ECM) are committed to the holistic development of women. A single conference at a time, God empowers ECM to send forth women with refreshed and inspired lives to enable transformation in the lives of people around them.

My experience attending the ECM Women's Retreat 2023 was a breath of fresh air. From all angles (evening services, breakout sessions, luncheon, and fun night), there was never a dull moment, and staff members were always there and ready to assist. Looking back , it was my safe space weekend to learn, meet new people, pray, and hear from God - so much so that once the 2024 registration window opened, it was no question to reserve my space before the end of 2023.
