Women of Grace: Spring Retreat 2026
11:00 AM Fri - 5:00 PM Sat
Each year we step away to reflect, connect, and learn alongside other women who are interested in growing spiritually together. This year, we invite you to join us at San Raphael Retreat Center in Dallas, TX for “Everyday Joy.”
This women’s retreat is centered around finding strength, healing and spiritual growth in the joy of the Lord in our everyday lives. Our retreat teachers will walk us through the book of Philippians, also known as, the Book of Joy. And, our breakouts are designed to meet you where you are in your everyday life.
For those who are able to join us earlier on Friday, we will begin with a guided silent retreat led by Grace engagement worker, Kristin Isaac. Then, we will have a special Friday evening kickoff, followed by a day of spiritual nourishment by the Word of God on Saturday. And as always, we’ll enjoy the love and laughter of community and friendship. We look forward to hosting you!
More details to come. REGISTER HERE.
About the silent retreat experience: One-on-One Time with Jesus
“Come away with Me,” “spend time with Me,” is the invitation Jesus is giving us to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In silence and in solitude we can come face-to-face with our Creator, precious Savior, and hear what He has to say to us. I have come to love these moments, where I can dedicate time away from all the interruptions, activities, responsibilities and spend them one on one with Jesus. When we seek Him with all our heart, he lets us find Him and draws us near to Him.
A guided silent retreat helps us to move toward a greater intimacy with the Almighty God. We will be taking a half day before the women’s retreat to release, confess, surrender, receive, and worship Jesus. Times of guided talk, followed by silent times alone with Jesus to reflect on a question, or a text, or simply walk and talk with Him. We will then come back together and worship Him, and share what He has laid on your hearts, if you would like to share in small groups and we will pray for one another.
Bring a journal and your Bible. You can also bring a book you have been meaning to read to deepen your relationship with Jesus.
The guided silent retreat will also include a Lectio Divina experience. Lectio Divina is a spiritual discipline where we listen to a short passage of God’s word multiple times and reflect on a different aspect after each reading. We will be taking a passage from Philippians to continue to reflect on the true Joy which comes from the Lord and journal our responses.
