LEFC Women’s Retreat — Draw Near: Praying the Psalms. Black Rock Retreat, October 30 to November 1, 2026.

The Psalms are a book of songs and prayers that teach us how to bring every emotion and every cry of our hearts before God. Join us for a weekend away at Black Rock Retreat to learn what it means to draw near — through sessions, prayer, worship, fellowship, and unhurried time alone with the Lord.

Women of every age and stage are welcome. Come by yourself, come with a friend, come with your ABF or small group — there is room for you.

OCTOBER 30 – NOVEMBER 1

Black Rock Retreat Center | Cost: $175

Friday evening through Sunday morning · lodging and all meals included

Coram Deo

In April we kicked off Coram Deo, our multi-year vision for women’s ministry — living all of life in the presence of God.

Our hope for this retreat is that we’ll spend the weekend learning what that looks like as we engage with the Psalms together. Our retreat team is praying that God would meet each woman in particular ways, drawing her near to Him.

You do not need to have been part of anything else this year to come. This weekend stands on its own.

Good to Know

Lodging and all meals are included in your registration. You’ll be in a shared room at Black Rock — if there is someone you’d like to room with, tell us on the next page and we’ll do our best to place you together. Each room holds typically 2-3 ladies, if you wish to room with more please note this in the roommate section. The room layout is one queen and two twin beds.

Tell us about allergies, dietary and accessibility needs on the next page so can plan well for you.

Cost should never be the reason you stay home. Scholarship help is available — reach out to Jenny Hoover if this is a need.
