Fall Women's Retreat:
Journeying Through the Gospels

You are invited to come away to Olmsted this fall and immerse yourself in rich study and seeking with a cohort of other powerful Christian women. Olmsted's women's retreats offer inspirational speaking, encouraging group discussions, quiet time with God, opportunities to enjoy stillness and nature, and Christian hospitality that will make you feel welcome and cared for. Come and attend to your mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
This year's study topic is "Journeying Through the Gospels." Using maps and pictures she has taken over the past 25 years, Tina Whitehead has put together a geographical and pictorial study of the four Gospels which she is offering to groups and churches in Western PA. This retreat will focus on the Gospel of Luke.

Tina Whitehead

Tina first traveled to the Holy Land in 1997 as part of the WPA educational staff of Operation Sunday School with the goal of bringing back stories of the land of the Bible which could be shared to promote education within local churches.  Since that first visit, she has traveled to the Holy Land over 40 times and lived in Jerusalem for 6 months each year from 2006 to 2020.  Besides doing work as a volunteer with Palestinian organizations, Tina has led and traveled with many tour groups and served as a hospitality representative with Educational Opportunities in Bethlehem.  She has an M.A. in Spiritual Formation from Duquesne University and presently works part-time at the Oakmont library and lives in Verona.
