What a beautiful Saturday by the lake with our Rising Above participants and staff!

We enjoyed sunshine, laughter, games, great conversations, and a delicious BBQ prepared by Matt. Days like this remind us how special it is to come together, build community, and celebrate the joy of simply being outside with good people.

The highlight of the day was seeing our chef Matt take the next step in his faith journey by getting baptized right there in the lake. What a powerful and unforgettable moment!

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the day so much fun, meaningful, and memorable.

🎉 Today we are so grateful to celebrate Wendy's two-year work anniversary with Rising Above! 🎉

Over the past two years, Wendy has poured so much compassion, dedication, and heart into her role as our Women’s Rising Above Advocate. She has walked alongside women with kindness, encouragement, and genuine care, helping them feel seen, supported, and valued.

Her advocacy makes a lasting difference in the lives of the women we serve, her teaching helps all our participants grow and her presence is such a meaningful part of our Rising Above community.

Thank you Wendy for two beautiful years of service, leadership, and love in action. We are truly blessed to have you on our team. Congratulations on this wonderful milestone!
