A Deep Breath of Crisp Autumn Air
Our Fall Women’s Retreats at Camp Lebanon are refreshing and inspiring, offering incredible opportunities for fellowship, instruction, and worship. Treat yourself to this delightful experience on the north shores of Cedar Lake, during one of the most beautiful times of the year.
Intentional & Impactful
Women’s Retreats fill quickly each fall for good reason. Each weekend features gifted guest speakers, powerful worship, and relevant workshops, plus outdoor activities and craft projects led by our team of staff and volunteers. Each year’s theme is planned intentionally to impact the lives of our guests, to challenge them in their faith walk, and to provide resources for further growth throughout the year. Best of all, the retreats are served out in the generous love of Christ by Camp Lebanon’s women’s ministries staff who love to welcome old and new friends to fall retreats!
Connections with new and old friends

Theme & Speakers
Astonished & Amazed: Sitting at the Feet of Jesus
The gospels record the reactions of people who sat at Jesus feet and heard his words first-hand: They were “astonished” and “amazed” at His teaching. This description uses a Greek word that literally means being “struck.” Jesus taught with a power and authority that the crowds had never before experienced. They never left the same. We invite you to come and “sit at the feet of Jesus” this fall as we lean in to listen to His words in the cultural context in which they were first spoken. May we, too, be astonished and amazed … and more importantly, changed!
KEYNOTE SPEAKER:
Lois Tverberg
Lois has been speaking and writing about the Bible in its cultural context for more than twenty years. Her passion is to share fresh insights on this ancient text that deepen and strengthen Christian faith. She is the author of several books that equip Christians to read the Bible from a Hebraic perspective: Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus, Walking in the Dust of Rabbi Jesus, Reading the Bible with Rabbi Jesus, and Listening to the Language of the Bible.
