Fall Women's Retreat
You are invited to come away to Olmsted this fall and immerse yourself in rich study and seeking with a cohort of other powerful Christian women. Olmsted's women's retreats offer inspirational speaking, encouraging group discussions, quiet time with God, opportunities to enjoy stillness and nature, and Christian hospitality that will make you feel welcome and cared for. Come and attend to your mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
Finding Hope & Grace
Along the hurried way we dust pieces of ourselves under the rug, always planning to ‘get to it’ and ‘deal with it’ later. Come away with us as the leaves turn and stillness in the air offers opportunity for reflection and care for the soul. Bring a small struggle with you – a grief, conundrum, worry, life change or milestone, frustrating habit, or some other tidbit with which you’ve meant to spend some time. We will wander on our own and in fellowship with one another with conversation and reflective questions to guide our time. Bible study will open our eyes anew to God’s sustaining grace and hope found in the muddle and mess of life. Though the topic may seem a little heavy, be prepared for plenty of levity and refreshment to sustain us each day until we each return home renewed and with fresh perspective.
Retreat Leader
Lynette S. MoranLynette serves as a deacon in Western PA to build bridges between daily life, the church, and community. She previously served as a hospital chaplain and in social services. A teaching fellow and PhD candidate (ABD) in sociology at the University of Pittsburgh, Lynette studies grief, social change, and how we utilize narrative to make meaning as individuals and together. Through the years of preaching, teaching, caring, and facilitating in a variety of settings, Lynette shares the power of witnessing one another’s pain as a form of healing, hope, and hospitality. She loves a good puzzle, late-night belly laughs over board games, and trying ever and ever again at developing her green thumb. At the end of the day you’ll find her with her favorite person in the world, Dan, and their three school-aged children.
