Returning to the Bridegroom: A Sacred Brunch to Renew & Bloom in Him

Returning to the Bridegroom is a sacred, intimate brunch created for women who long to reconnect deeply with Jesus—their First Love. Whether you feel distant, worn, or simply ready to bloom into a fresh season of spiritual intimacy, this event is your invitation to come home to Christ’s love again.

Inspired by Gabrielle Santiago’s book , this gathering is designed as a spiritual reset—a time to pause, reflect, and realign with God’s heart. Join guest speaker Gabrielle Santiago and host Schuyler Oakes as they lead you into a deeper encounter with God’s love, identity, and purpose for your life.

Through worship, prayer, teaching, and creative expression, you’ll be invited to reclaim your true identity as God’s beloved daughter and rest fully in the love of Christ, our Bridegroom, who pursues you passionately and tenderly.

Whether you are in a season of abundance, waiting, or transition, we’re praying each woman who attends will leave renewed, restored, and deeply rooted—carrying a fresh revelation of God’s love and a clearer sense of purpose and identity in Him.

• Encounter God’s presence through heartfelt worship and prayer
• Engage in Spirit-led teaching and reflection designed to deepen your intimacy with Jesus
• Participate in a creative floral activity symbolizing your personal spiritual bloom—an expression of what God is cultivating in your life right now
• Join open, honest discussions and Q&A sessions that encourage vulnerability, growth, and healing
• Receive space to release burdens, surrender what no longer serves you, and prepare your heart for all that God is unfolding in 2026
• Connect authentically with other women walking similar journeys—building community rooted in faith, grace, and support
• Enjoy light refreshments, tea, and brunch-style dishes🥂

Come ready to be refreshed, to bloom, and to step confidently into the new year embraced by the Bridegroom’s everlasting love. 🌸
