Empowering Women to Soar!

🌸October 2026 

Theme: Reset Your Mind • Emotional Healing • Intentional Living

Lydia’s Retreat Center is stepping boldly into a new season of digital ministry — and we’re honored to walk it with you in this Christ-centered community.  

🌿The Seven Feasts of the Lord Series (Leviticus 23)

The Seven Feasts of the Lord reveal God’s prophetic rhythm for our lives. Each feast invites us into a specific spiritual season:

Passover — Come Out  

Unleavened Bread — Clean Up  

First Fruits — Give God the First  

Pentecost — Be Empowered  

Trumpets — Wake Up  

Atonement — Be Restored  

Tabernacles — Dwell

Join us as we journey through these seven appointed times—aligning our hearts with God’s purpose and timing.

SPOTLIGHT

Lydia’s Chicago Meet‑Up Our time together in Chicago was nothing short of unforgettable. From heartfelt conversations to shared moments of growth, the highlight was our visit to the Obama Presidential Center—a powerful, inspiring experience that left us encouraged and uplifted. This world‑class landmark is truly a must‑see, offering a rich tapestry of history, hope, and vision for the future. Chicago embraced us, and we carried its inspiration home.

🌸 October: Breast Cancer Awareness Month  

We pause to honor the strength, courage, and resilience of women walking through the journey of breast cancer. As a community of faith, we stand with survivors, uplift those in treatment, and remember the loved ones we’ve lost. Lydia’s Retreat Center remains committed to offering hope, prayer, and support—reminding every woman that she is seen, valued, and never alone. May this month inspire early detection, compassionate care, and continued advocacy for women everywhere.
