This weekend, you can expect the following: 

Worship, conversations and teachings by Barb Beard & Jeanne Middaugh, breakouts, reflective and restful space, honest conversations, fire-pit time, optional morning yoga, good coffee, good food, good company. 

About the Speakers:

Barb Beard: The more you need God, the more you see Him work! That’s been Barb’s experience as she has navigated unexpected and challenging circumstances in her life. Her love for God and His Word has only deepened through the darkest times, fueling her passion to help others discover the same hope and strength she has found.

Barb has taught women’s Bible studies for over thirty years, transparently sharing her struggles to illustrate God’s unwavering faithfulness. Her journey encompasses a wide range of experiences—from being a stay-at-home mom and managing a retail business to enduring the grief of losing her first husband to cancer and navigating life as a single mother of three teenagers. After remarrying, she and her second husband served as missionaries in Taiwan until his unexpected death. Through each chapter of her life—marked by both trials and blessings—Barb has witnessed firsthand the truth of Psalm 25:10--that all of God’s paths are filled with steadfast love and faithfulness for those who trust in Him.

Jeanne Middaugh is co-owner/operator of The Cider House, along with her husband Chad. She has a heart for people, food, connection and adventure. Jeanne has grown up in the world of agriculture. Jeanne and Chad purchased the orchard on the corner of 7 hwy & Kauffman Rd in 2014, now Cultivate Coffee + Health Bar. Jeanne has always loved the outdoors and seeing God's hand all throughout creation. Growing up in agricutlure and farming, she has experienced first hand the way scripture uses nature & creation to teach us more about life. After purchasing the orchard...it brought it all to life even more. There is just something about pruning and taking care of fruit trees that truly brings scripture to life. She is excited to come along side Barb and share about what God has shown her throughout her life through "cultivation, planting, pruning, and producing of fruit".
