Singleness, Sabotage & Secrets
Thank you for celebrating with us!
We can’t thank you enough for joining us at our first annual gala! We are excited to announce that together we exceeded our budgeted goal by 40%. It was a huge success, and it wouldn’t have been possible without your support!
We hope you left with a deeper understanding of the 4word vision and were inspired to see faith as your foundation, relationships as your priority, and your workplace as a place to serve.
