About the Retreat
So, you’ve been invited to go on a Walking With Jesus weekend, but you want to know more? Let us help you out with that!
The Weekend in Overview
The weekend itself runs from Thursday evening through Sunday evening. Your Sponsor (the person who invited you) will take you to the retreat and bring you home once it is over. Attending a weekend is somewhat different from other outings and retreats you may have attended. It starts from the moment you pack your suitcase.
What To Leave Behind
Leave the distractions of the world behind when you go. We will take care of all of that for you.
You are encouraged to leave your cell phone and watch behind. We understand that this is difficult for some folks! The purpose of this is to open yourself fully to God’s schedule and remain in the moment the entire weekend. Your loved ones at home will have an emergency contact number if they must reach you, and of course your Sponsor will also be able to help if needed. If you have specific needs or concerns, we invite you to communicate them with your Sponsor. You might need to take medicine at a certain time, and the team is happy to help with that. If you have dietary needs, your Sponsor can help.
What To Bring With You
Clothing for the season. You will be walking between buildings but spending most of your time indoors. Many people find having a bible useful. The rest of what you bring depends somewhat on the site (East Side or West Side) for your weekend.
