Dress Requirements: From the beginning, West Branch has sought to be an encouragement in the matters of modesty and distinction. For this reason, ladies and girls are asked to wear skirts or dresses for the Saturday event.

Lunch: While we always strive to offer variety in our meals, we cannot guarantee that our menu will accommodate all special dietary needs. Feel free to contact us in advance for more information on the planned menu and/or bring along your own food supply if something beyond the offered meal is needed.

A Note from Bro. Troy: We live in a busy world. Ladies know that more than anyone! Spend a day being helped from God;’s Word in a refreshing environment. Bring some friends or meet some! Give yourself a boost this fall! (Event is designed for ladies and teenage girls. No children’s programs or nurseries are provided.) Mary Rice and her husband Bill Rice III have ministered to churches across the country and often in Arizona for decades. Her daughter-in-law Sena, wife of Ranch president Wil Rice IV, also speaks regularly to ladies and teenage girls. Abby Furse is my daughter! She has worked with teen and college-aged girls in a variety of ministries. She will be a help in her session with the girls.
