SheLET GO WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT EXPERIENCE

MARCH 28, 2026 FOREST HILL, TEXAS

Dear Sisters and Friends, It is my great joy to welcome you to the She Let Go Women’s Empowerment Experience. Today we gather as women of faith, each carrying our own journeys, stories, and seasons. Some of us arrive with hearts full of gratitude, while others come quietly carrying burdens that have been heavy for far too long.

She Let Go was created as a sacred space for women to pause, breathe, and allow God to do the healing work that only He can do. Through worship, teaching, honest conversation, and reflection, we invite every woman here to consider what God may be asking her to release.

Sometimes we hold tightly to fear, pain, expectations, or unanswered questions. Yet God lovingly reminds us that when we release what we cannot control, we make room for His grace, strength, and restoration.

It is our prayer that today you will feel encouraged, supported, and spiritually renewed. May this experience remind you that you are not alone, and that God is faithful to meet us exactly where we are.

Thank you for being here and for allowing this community of women to walk alongside you today.

With love and prayer,

Anysia Alexander-Archibald Women’s Ministries Director Southwest Region Conference

Purpose of the Event The She Let Go Women’s Empowerment Experience was designed to create a safe and supportive environment where women can explore healing, release emotional burdens, and strengthen their faith.

Many women carry silent pressures—family challenges, health concerns, financial worries, unresolved hurt, or the constant expectation to remain strong for others.

This gathering provides a space for women to reflect honestly on those experiences while being encouraged through faith, professional insight, and community support.

Through worship, biblical teaching, workshops, professional dialogue, and moments of reflection, participants are invited to consider what it means to release the things that weigh on their hearts and trust God more fully with their lives.

Our hope is that every woman leaves this experience feeling lighter, encouraged, and spiritually renewed, knowing that when she releases her burdens, God faithfully provides strength, guidance, and restoration.
