‘Playful Spirituality: Pursuing The God Who Celebrates' invites women to discover the delight of God and joy of the life of faith. Through themes of celebration, feasting, and fun, we'll explore a spirituality that reminds us that playfulness is a holy practice. By connecting the ordinary and the sacred, we see that playfulness is not a distraction to faith, but central to it. Together, we find how God invites us to share in the gift of merrymaking as a way to endure hardship and to enjoy creation and community.”

By popular demand, Casey Cole Higginbotham returns as our guest speaker for the 3rd Annual Women’s Retreat at Grace Point Camp and Retreat Center in Kingston, Tennessee on April 17th-19th, 2026.

The Planning Team is once again hard at work putting together this amazing weekend. We’ll gather for times of prayer, singing, food, and fellowship; opportunities for discussion in small groups; painting, knitting/crochet, journaling, hikes, sabbath time, yoga, and more. The weekend includes meals provided by Grace Point.

There are two ways to participate in this weekend retreat: Friday-Sunday, and Saturday only. Those attending Saturday only will arrive in time for the first session that morning and enjoy a full day of conversation and activities through dinner and the evening Q&A. Those attending Friday-Sunday will begin with dinner Friday evening, a social hour, and small group discussions.

We expect the retreat to fill up quickly! The deadline to register is Sunday March 29th. The retreat is open to the Women of St. Luke’s, and to friends and family who may wish to join us. Register below.
