Finding Strength for the Journey
Come experience time away from the wilderness of widowhood and seek solace at a retreat that has been designed with you in mind. This retreat will aid you and encourage you to look forward and upward as you travel this widow’s walk and remind you that you are not alone. Gain new insights about how God made you to survive and thrive through reflection, self-assessment, and interaction with women who have experienced similar loss — and with a God who has the power to renew your strength, heal your broken heart, and give you hope for tomorrow. Lunch is included.
[Want to extend your retreat experience? With at least 48 hours’ notice (and subject to availability), Bon Secours offers “private retreats” with lodging and meals. Register for two back-to-back retreats and add an overnight stay as a private retreatant for the night between. Call the Welcome Center at 410-442-3120 to inquire about booking a private retreat.]
Rev. Terrye Moore’s life and ministry are anchored in the divine calling of Isaiah 49:1-6: to be a servant of the Lord and carry God’s salvation “to the ends of the earth.” With a heart for people and a passion for purpose, she has spent decades building ministries that uplift, empower, and transform lives. She is a mother and grandmother who describes herself as a “remarried widow.” A proud graduate of Tuskegee University (Class of 1981), Rev. Moore was ordained in 2005 and quickly became a driving force in establishing impactful ministries for men, women, and youth. In 2011, she was consecrated to pastoral ministry and installed as Assistant Pastor. Soon after, she took a leap of faith — leaving behind a successful career in Information Technology to fully dedicate her life to God’s work. In 2012, Rev. Moore founded The Virtuous Woman’s Institute, a God-given vision to minister to the “total woman”— spirit, soul, and body. Her commitment to community collaboration led to the formation of the Northwest Faith-Based Community Partnership in 2013, a united effort among Baltimore congregations to bring healing and hope to the city. She deepened her theological foundation with a Master of Arts in Church Ministries from the Ecumenical Institute of St. Mary’s Seminary & University in 2014. In 2017, she was installed as Senior Pastor of New Solid Rock Fellowship Church, leading the congregation with boldness, compassion, and prophetic insight. Rev. Moore’s influence has not gone unnoticed. In 2020, she received an Honorary Doctor of Divinity from St. Thomas Christian University. In 2021, she was honored as one of “The Guardians of Baltimore,” a powerful photo documentary celebrating unsung female leaders who have been pillars of strength in their communities. Most recently, in 2023, she was ordained to the Office of Prophet through Jackie Miller Ministries. Rev. Terrye Moore continues to serve faithfully — equipping the saints, engaging the community, and extending God’s love with unwavering conviction.
