Sole Care Ladies Day Apart 2025 – Last year the Sole Care Ladies Day Apart was at River Bend Nature Center. – This year (2025) United Women in Faith ladies would like to have a special Sole Care date inviting ladies from Northfield area churches. This would be much like we once did for Northfield Ecumenical Women (NEW). We would come together for inspiring programs and lunch. Watch for more information but save the date. “Sole Care is part of an event for enrichment and is a pathway to connect with new women focused on giving care to the whole person – mind, body, and spirit.” (source: UWFaith.org)
