About This Event

Celebrating Life Benefit Dinner
Friday, March 20th | Nappanee Missionary Church
Doors open at 5:30 PM | Dinner served at 6:00 PM | Event concludes by 8:00 PM

This year’s Celebrating Life Benefit Dinner is especially meaningful as we mark 41 years of RETA—41 years of faith, service, and life-affirming ministry.

In Scripture, the number 40 often represents a time of testing, preparation, or waiting: 40 days in the ark, 40 years in the wilderness, 40 days of fasting before new beginnings. But 41, that next step, symbolizes what comes after the trial. It’s the dawn after the storm, the promise fulfilled, the new life that follows a season of endurance and faith.

At RETA, we see that same truth lived out every day. After the trials and uncertainty of an unplanned pregnancy, there comes hope. There comes new life. There comes redemption. And after 40 faithful years of serving mothers, babies, and families in our community, we are stepping boldly into our 41st year, ready to embrace the next chapter God has written for this ministry.

Join us for an inspiring evening of stories, fellowship, and gratitude as we celebrate the lives changed, the hearts healed, and the futures forever shaped through God’s grace and your support. Together, we continue to bring light into the world, one heartbeat, one family, one life at a time.
