Retreat Guides
Every retreat is different, but you can always expect to spend time in scripture, reflecting on some questions, and time for rest between. We want you to take the time at your own pace, whether your retreat is 4 or 8 or 24 hours. Many also include poems, songs, prayers, and writings from faithful women and men of the past. May they be a blessing to you.
