2026 Summer Women’s Retreat

Speaker: Valerie Johnson – Roseau, MN

June 12-14

Cost: $90 (Pay when you arrive)

Valerie is wife to Pastor Nate Johnson of Roseau Evangelical Covenant Church and mother to three kids. She and her family moved to Roseau in 2022 after several years of ministry in Scotland and have fully embraced rural life, complete with a garden and chickens. She finished her Seminary degree in 2013 and while her primary focus is on family and church life, she has a desire to see women experience the love of God, the joy of Jesus, and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit in life’s real battles and victories.

Join us for a weekend of refreshment, relaxation, connection, fun, and worship. We’ll do the cooking and the dishes while you enjoy the lake and time with friends. Check in will begin at 4:00 on Friday and the retreat will end at 1:00 on Sunday. All meals are provided from Friday supper through Sunday lunch.

You can register via this online registration form, or by sending a note with your Name, Email, and Town to Bluewater at:
