“The Grace Lab was just what our congregation needed: the challenge to find God in all the various activities of our days. It has been said that 'we will find what we're looking for' - and Emilee inspired us to look for the Spirit's movements in our lives each and every day. She, and The Grace Lab, were a great gift to help deepen our walks with God.”

-Rev. Bob Melone, Mt. Vernon Presbyterian Church

"Emilee led a multi-week Grace Lab class for our church and we are still experiencing the impact of it. Emilee tailored each week to our context and needs. She helped our community, filled with people at various stages of their lives, make deeper connections with each other and in their faith. Emilee offers attentive, caring and charismatic leadership and a wealth of wisdom to help individuals and communities alike grow where it is needed. We look forward to having Emilee back again."

- Rev. Ashley Allen, Oakton United Methodist Church

“Emilee Williams was so easy-going and a pleasure to work with. She remained on top of the plans throughout the entire process. All the women loved her and have requested she return! I would highly recommend using the Grace Lab for your next women's retreat.”

-Marti Hall, First United Presbyterian Church of Dale City

“Emilee led a very special retreat for women of my church. I attended with my mother and mother-in-law, and all three of us found something special and unique to take away from the experience. Emilee created a beautiful structure for the sessions, with each element building on the last to an emotional climax when each participant named and shared deep longings to connect with God. I felt heard, appreciated and supported by a loving Christian community thanks to Emilee’s thoughtful program and resources.”

- Lynley Ogilvie, Immanuel Presbyterian Church

“Six months after our retreat, our retreatants are still joyfully proclaiming, ‘Surely God is in this place!’-- in both moments of both sorrow and celebration. Rev. Emilee has a remarkable gift for weaving ancient spiritual practices into the realities of daily life, helping us root ourselves more deeply in God and carry scripture from our hearts into our lived experience. She teaches with such enthusiasm, gentleness, and joy that we truly cannot recommend the Grace Lab enough. Book her for your retreat now! Months from now, you’ll still be returning to the wisdom she helped cultivate in you.”
