Women of Hope Retreat

May 5-7, 2026

Luther Springs in Hawthorne, FL

The Women of Hope invite all women to join in on the retreat which will be held May 5, 6, & 7, 2026 at Luther Springs in Hawthorne, Florida. The theme for the retreat is “She Laughed”: Exploring faith, humor, and hope through the story of Sarah — and how God continues to create new things in our lives, even when it feels unlikely. We’ll be focusing on how laughter can be:
  • A way we cope and survive
  • A way God surprises us
  • A sign of healing and hope

Pastor Trixie Richter has spent over 30 years in full-time ministry and joyfully (and faithfully… and maybe a little stubbornly at times!) answered God’s call to rostered ministry, graduating from Wartburg Theological Seminary in 2022. She now serves as pastor of St. Philip Lutheran Church in Mount Dora, Florida.
Pastor Trixie believes deeply that faith is meant to be lived in real life—not just in the serious moments, but in the laughter, the unexpected turns, and even the places where we wonder what God is up to. She has a heart for helping people experience God’s grace in ways that are honest, approachable, and sometimes even a little humorous. She loves creating spaces where people feel welcomed, encouraged, and reminded that they don’t have to have it all together to belong to God.

When she’s not serving in ministry, Trixie is spending time with her best friend and husband, Adrian, and their daughter, Tabitha. She loves laughter, meaningful conversation, and the kind of moments that turn into stories you’ll tell again and again.

Registration forms are available at the Hope Central Campus office. Please do not detach the bottom half of the registration, keep it whole when registering. Details regarding the retreat, such as time, cost, location, and how to remit can be found on these forms. It is possible this year for ladies to attend for one day – Wednesday, May 6. The cost for one day, which includes meals and fellowship is $40.00 per person. Please check the details on the one-day retreat form below.
