Purpose-Led Discipleship · Legacy
A weekend that sends people forward.
These are adaptable planning examples. Change the days, starting times, meals, and breaks to fit your setting while keeping the eight movements in order and protecting the final response and release. The weekend example leaves Sunday morning open for regular church worship, and the same movements may also be used as eight weekly one hour gatherings.
Primary example · Friday evening–Sunday 4:00 PM
Weekend retreat schedule
