Replenish Retreat: the countdown is on!
Replenish Women’s Retreat October 17-19, 2025; registrations close October 5!
Come, join us for a weekend to rest and enjoy chilling out with a group of like-minded ladies! It is a time to do as little as you like or as much as you like of the things that give you joy, as you enjoy the serene atmosphere of Luther Heights.
Ocean Outlook rooms are now fully booked but there is still time to book a bed in a Cross Ridge dorm for the weekend or overnight - please note that we only use the bottom bunks!
Grace Laced for spouses of pastors
Are you married to a pastor and thinking of coming to Replenish? There will be a session on Saturday morning just for you, called Grace Laced. You’ll get to spend time listening to one another and supporting one another, and then, thanks to the LLL, go out for lunch together.
Don't delay, register today and take time to breathe! You can find out more about Replenish and Grace Laced, and register to attend by going to this link: https://lyq.org.au/events/replenish-womens-retreat/
Replenish is for women aged 18+. Proudly sponsored by LLL Australia.
LIFT Conference
LIFT is no ordinary conference. It’s a space where young voices are heard, agency is valued, and leadership is developed through real-world collaboration and shared insight. With practical workshops and authentic leadership conversations, participants will leave equipped to foster meaningful change in their communities.
- New Date: Friday 24 October 2025
- Location: Grace Lutheran College, Rothwell
- Who it's for: Students in Grades 6–11, mentor staff members, and congregation leaders and mentors
