Trinity Women's Retreat

Trinity Women's Retreat was held at Christwalk in the Valley Retreat Center the weekend of March 13-15, 2026. 30 women attended. We had perfect weather and many enjoyed walking around the lake, visiting local establishments, and hiking some local trails during free time. Our theme was Boho, or the Bohemian era, and many of the ladies dressed for the occasion! (Think Joan Baez or Janis Joplin) We learned about several important women in the Bible and how they were empowered to break the mold of women during various biblical eras. Chelsea Lemcke-Miller and Becca Campbell prepared a program that was well received and led us through a guide on the structure of prayer using the ACTS prayer model. We created a beaded prayer bracelet and painted mandalas on rocks! The food was wonderful and cabin accommodations exceeded our expectations. Click on the picture to see more photos from the retreat.
