Retreat
2025 LWML-NED Fall Retreat
NOVEMBER 7 & 8 2025
Theme: Praying and Serving in Hope
The world would have us fear-filled, frozen, gloomy, and disillusioned about our lives, our society, and the Church. Christians are baptized to think, pray, and serve differently than the ways of the world. As the Holy Spirit leads us to confess the Christian faith with boldness, we come before the throne of God’s grace with confidence, and we serve the Lord with gladness that is grounded in hope that does not disappoint us.
Speaker: Rev. Dr. Dien Ashley Taylor
The Most Rev. Dr. Dien Ashley Taylor is the Bishop and President of the LCMS Atlantic District, Pastor of Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church in The Bronx, New York, and the LCMS President’s Voting Representative on the Board for National Mission.
