Join us for our third annual "Renew & Refresh: Women's Retreat". Escape busy life for a weekend of tranquility, community, worship and growth.
When was the last time you felt truly refreshed in your body, mind, or spirit? Water sustains life, restores what’s dry, and connects all of creation. Throughout scripture, God uses water to cleanse, renew, and bring new beginnings. From the waters of creation to the waters of baptism, God’s presence flows through it all. Together, we’ll dive into what it means to be renewed by the Water of Life—a source that never runs dry. Join us for a weekend of reflection, connection, and inspiration! February 6th - 8th, 2026 OR
February 20th - 22nd, 2026 Two weekends of the same programming, pick what works best for you! Check-in by 5:00pm. The first thing on the schedule is dinner at 6:00pm. Optional early arrival (no fee) begins at 1:00 p.m. It will be a weekend full of fellowship, rest, crafts, meals, freetime, guided activities, and craft time! Departure is at 12/noon on Sunday. There are choices for both commuting and staying overnight. |

Fun Fact: Penny's nieces have been campers at Luther Park for many years. |
Andrea Griner hails from Minnesota's Twin Cities. She is a true northern gal as she would rather go "more" north than south. She has spent the last 22 years at Mount Calvary Lutheran employed as the Director of Faith Formation and Family Ministry. She has designed multiple ministries, led tons of retreats and wrote more curriculum than she can record. Andrea has been a national speaker and teacher and is a Certified Spiritual Director. She considers herself a "free spirit" when it comes to ministry and loves to "play" in the biblical story. She refers to herself as a storyteller, a creator of sacred space, a "wanna be" artist, and a deep listener. She loves reading, "art-ing", pasta, her family and her dog Dudley!

Cassandra Morgan is a singer, music teacher and art lover born and raised in Iowa. There she received her bachelors and masters degrees in vocal performance with a passion for opera and stage-based performance arts. After transplanting to the Twin Cities, she performed with Minnesota Opera, Mill City Opera and Mixed Precipitation. While working as a church musician and private voice instructor she found her way to Mount Calvary Lutheran Church in Excelsior, MN where she has continued to perform and teach for the past 8 years. Here she has rediscovered her passion for contemporary genres, stretching away from her classic training to what originally called her to music- the stories, the emotion, and the gift of leading others through song. Cassandra is currently an elementary and middle school music and art teacher at a small charter school in Chaska, MN, keeping her days filled with the things she loves most- music, art and children! She spends weekends leading worship at Mount Calvary, finding God at the center of everything she does.
