Retreat Guides
We recommend the following retreat guide for a personal retreat.
COME: GOD’S INVITATION TO REST AND RENEWAL
by Christine Labrum
This booklet is an invitation to and guidebook for personal retreat. Retreat is a space of prayer to be with God. It is space for rest, repentance, and renewal. Let God nourish your heart.
Often our attention in the day-to-day is turned out toward the world—we live, we serve, and we love. That is essential and good, missional even.
YET...stewardship of our hearts is also essential. It is good to turn our attention to God and our own hearts for a focused, intentional period of prayer (a day, a weekend, or longer), so we can be responsive to God’s invitation to intimacy and transformation. This book will help you prepare for retreat and then guide you through four stages to engage with God.
‘FOR EVERYTHING A SEASON” HALF-DAY RETREAT GUIDES
Open Air Collaborative
Our “For Everything a Season” half-day retreat guides are created to help you experience the rhythms of nature as a window to your soul.
The natural cycles that God ordained in creation show us that ebbs and flows, times of fruitfulness and times of dormancy, all have their place. What’s more, God is present and active in our lives in different ways in different seasons. By attending to the seasons of the natural world, we can learn to attend to the seasons of our hearts as well.
Each retreat guide includes a video with short teachings and guided reflections, plus a printable retreat journal with further prayer exercises and reflections. The first retreat available will be Summer, coming June 2026.
