Friday Evening to Sunday Afternoon
These times are examples and may be adapted to the needs of the host, venue, and participants. Sunday morning is intentionally left open so participants can attend their regular church service and have lunch before returning for the final afternoon. Protect the promised ending time. The separate schedule is designed to become the linked online navigation page when the retreat is published.
