Rest & Rise

October 2-4 | Camp Croix

Join us for a weekend of rest in the promises of the Bread of Life, as we deepen our understanding of how through the kneading of the pressures of life, Christ shapes us from a meager dough in His hands to a masterpiece fit for a King, as we offer our lives in service to others. 

Our speaker, Amanda Bielke, will be leading us through four sessions of God’s Word - each one focused on connecting an essential step of the bread-making process to how God gives us rest (Psalm 46:10), kneads us (James 1), and how we rise in him (Isaiah 60:1) to shine and nourish those around us (Matthew 5:16). Amanda is a “relationship coach, educator, speaker, NLP practitioner, podcaster, connector, soul driven, wife, mom and BFF who’s always willing to listen.” Learn more about Amanda on her website.

The rest of the weekend is filled with worship, fellowship, prayer walks, time in the outdoors, crafts, and incredible food. Whether you come with a sister or a friend or come alone, you will leave with lifelong relationships and a closer walk with the Savior.

Supported by WELS churches, surrounded by 160 acres of forest, and boasting 2,100 feet of lakeshore along Lake Rooney, Camp Croix hosts six weeks of youth ministry, plus family camp, men's, women's, and college retreats, conferences, and other events throughout the year.

    For weekend retreaters, sleeping accommodations include the lodge and four-bunk cabins. There are also a number of spots for RVs with power and water connections. Please let us know if you would like to bring a camper or other RV.

The first annual women’s retreat was hosted in 2021 by the Women’s Group of Faith Lutheran, River Falls. The Women’s Retreat encourages us to walk in faith together, refreshes us by reminding us of God’s grace, and gives a wonderful opportunity for fellowship with our sisters in Christ. We hope to create a small, welcoming experience, so availability will be limited!
