LIFT (Ladies in Faith Together) Retreat

Clay Jars

April 4 - 6, 2025

We are so excited to be gathering again for a retreat with our sisters in Christ, and we hope that you will join us! We are heading back to the beautiful retreat center Sandy Cove, in Maryland. Our theme this year is "Clay Jars," and the retreat will be led by Pastor Dale Selover.  


The image of jars appears again and again throughout the Scriptures, provoking all sorts of reflections on our own lives. When our jars are empty, what does God do with the lack we feel? How do we respond when our “jar overflows”? Where is God inviting us to leave our jars behind for a deeper relationship with God – or to break our jar open and surrender everything at Jesus’ feet? Join us for our LIFT retreat as Pastor Dale Selover leads us in exploring these powerful stories from Scripture, the image of “clay jars,” and what it means for our lives today.  


Pastor Dale Selover is Prince of Peace Lutheran Church’s Pastor of Spiritual Formation and Director of The House Next Door, a spiritual direction and retreat ministry in Princeton Junction, NJ. For over twenty-five years Pastor Selover has led retreats for congregational women’s groups, councils, families, and Christian Education teams. Dale is married to Pastor Peter Froehlke. They are the proud parents of two daughters: Sara Grace and Hannah Ruth.
