Lake Junaluska will host four Journey to Joy Women’s Retreats in 2025, bringing women together for meaningful weekends of laughter, sharing, worship and fellowship. Come on your own and make new friends, or come with members of your small group, women’s group or friends and family to grow closer together. Offered in partnership with Leigh Young, author of “Journey to Joy: A Seven-Week Path to the Joyous Life God Intended and Lessons from the Letters,” the retreats will be:
March 21-23, Journey to Joy: A Special Journey for the Wives of Pastors. This special weekend is designed to support and encourage the wives of pastors by providing opportunities for networking, encouragement and personal development. Panel discussions and group interactions will address topics such as soul-care, balancing expectations and stress management. Space is limited to 60 women.
April 4-6, Journey to Joy: The Women of the Cross. Who were these women who remained at the cross? What was their story? What would pull them so close to Christ despite the danger and horror of a crucifixion? How can we experience this level of intimacy with God? What can we learn from The Women of the Cross?
Aug. 22-24, Journey to Joy: Lessons from the Letters. In August, explore “Lessons from the Letters,” a Bible study that looks at the letters in the opening chapters of Revelation to seven actual congregations in Asia Minor revealing the path to the joyous and abundant life. These letters are a gift of hope and peace. This study can be used by church groups, Bible studies, or individuals to kick off the “Seven Week Daily Devotion Lessons from the Letters” book.
Nov. 14-16, Journey to Joy: Blessed not Stressed this Christmas. Advent is meant to be a time of reflection, anticipation and spiritual preparation for the celebration of Jesus’ birth but it often gets lost. Join us for a spiritual renewal for this yuletide Journey to Joy as we focus on Christ amidst the busyness that can be challenging and distracting. Learn through Scripture how to be blessed, not stressed, this Christmas season.
