SUMMARY:Women's Retreat Fall 2026
DESCRIPTION:“Reclaiming the Sweetness of Life”\nGrace Avenue & Grace Chapel Fall 2026 Women’s Retreat \nThere’s something sacred about stepping away from the schedule\, the expectations\, and the noise. In that space\, something shifts. We breathe a little deeper. We laugh more freely. We remember who we are. This fall\, you’re invited to join a group of remarkable women for a weekend retreat at Lake Texoma. \nThis year’s theme is Reclaiming the Sweetness of Life. Life has a way of filling our days with responsibilities\, deadlines\, and endless to-do lists\, often leaving little room to savor the sweetness that surrounds us. This retreat is an invitation to slow down\, reconnect with God\, and rediscover the simple joys that nourish our souls. Through worship\, conversation\, reflection\, and rest\, we’ll explore what it means to reclaim wonder\, gratitude\, and delight in every season of life. Come away for a weekend of renewal as we remember that God’s goodness is still sweet\, and life is meant to be savored. \nAll women of Grace Avenue & Grace Chapel are invited. Please register by Tuesday\, September 8. After that\, registration will be based on availability. \n  \nCost & Lodging Details:\nAll room costs include lodging\, programs\, and 3 meals. A Double Occupancy room (2 queen beds) is $195 per person\, and a Private room cost is $275. The Saturday-only rate is $95 which includes lunch and dinner. If you have friends that want to do triple or quad occupancy to lower costs\, contact laura@graceavenue.org. \n$100 non-refundable deposit due upon registration.\nFull balance due by Tuesday\, September 15.\nPlease make checks payable to Grace Avenue UMC.

SUMMARY:Through a Different Lens
DESCRIPTION:Through a Different Lens is a community for anyone who wants to explore faith with curiosity\, honesty\, and compassion. Together\, we discuss engaging books one chapter at a time\, make space for questions\, and learn from one another’s experiences and perspectives. Whether you’re deconstructing\, reconstructing\, or simply looking for a caring community where you can explore faith at your own pace\, you’re welcome here. As an inclusive and affirming community\, we believe our conversations are richer because people bring different stories\, identities\, questions\, and perspectives to the table. Contact Amber Baker at amber@graceavenue.org with questions.
