Two adaptable ways to gather.

Use the full Friday through Sunday retreat or follow the same eight movements as a weekly one hour group. These are planning examples, not replacements for Sunday or Wednesday services. Choose the days and times that support your church or group while preserving the movement order and promised ending time.
