12 ladies spent the weekend at Smith Mountain Lake studying and experiencing what it means to embody grace toward ourselves, others and the world around us. Using Caroline Vogel's book of the same title, we fellowshiped together, practiced spiritual disciplines such as Lectio Divina, shared in small groups and ate ourselves silly! One of our fun application activities was mask making! Now we're ready to embrace the season as ourselves, striving toward grace and noticing the work of the Holy Spirit in and around us. Our 2027 Fall Retreat is already scheduled for October 21-24. Mark your calendars and join us! All are welcome - HS youth to OWLS!
