"Gifted to Serve" | Jan. 30 & 31, 2026
St. Andrew’s annual Women’s Retreat is coming soon, and you’re invited to set aside time for renewal, connection, and encouragement. This year’s theme, “Gifted to Serve,” invites us to explore how God equips each of us—with our stories, strengths, questions, and quirks—for lives of love and service in the world.
We are delighted to welcome the Rev. Sarah Goettsch, longtime friend of St. Andrew, as our retreat leader. Through teaching, guided reflection, and honest conversation, Pastor Sarah will help us consider what it means to serve “humbly in love” (Galatians 5:13) in the roles we inhabit every day—at home, at work, in community, and in the church. Whether you’re feeling energized, exhausted, curious, or simply in need of a quiet space to breathe, this retreat offers room for you.
Our group service project will be to collect feminine products for St. Andrew’s February Food Market. Please bring feminine products of your choosing to donate.
Friday evening a light meal and desserts will be provided for you to enjoy while we get to know one another. After a time of fellowship, Pastor Sarah will kick off our retreat with a few insights on what it means to serve
Saturday morning will begin with breakfast and fellowship at 8:30 a.m. Pastor Sarah will speak again to help us delve deeper into what it means to "...serve one another humbly in love." At 9:30 a.m., we'll break into small groups for more intimate conversations. Once again, we'll come back together for our final time of reflection. Our time together will end after lunch which will be provided.
