Lenten 2026 Men's Retreat
Life Together: The Dynamics of Christian Community
2/20-2/22
Alton Collins Retreat Center
Rev. Mark Brocker, Theologian in Residence, will lead our Men’s Lenten Retreat. Guided by Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Life Together, we'll consider how our life together as the people of St. Luke can be a form of resistance in this unsettled political time.

In the flow of the retreat, we'll get a taste of the "liturgy" of Bonhoeffer's Finkewalde community that balanced communal worship, leisure, personal meditation, and confession.  
 
Double Occupancy Room: $150/participant
Single Occupancy Room: $232/participant
Six meals included with registration

Walking with the Wisdom of the Women Mystics
2/27-3/1
Alton Collins Retreat Center
Rev. Patti Welch, Lead Pastor, will lead our Women’s Lenten Retreat. Guided by the luminous voices of Christian women mystics, we'll explore how their lives of prayer and courage speak into our own Lenten journey.

Through shared reflection, silence, and simple contemplative practice, we'll trace the movements of God's love that invite us toward healing, wholeness, and renewal.
