WHAT DO I DO?
Well there's a lot. But let's break it down by creating the vision, dividing the work into different roles, listing out all the necessary tasks, and then crafting the content.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Considering the audience... who are they? What questions are they asking? What are they looking for in this retreat? The audience page will walk you through this process or if you prefer to use a printable version, make a copy of this worksheet.
WHEN DO I DO ALL THIS?
Yesterday. Just kidding :) There is a lot to do and some of it happens early. Our timeline breaks down what you need to do when and even gives you some task lists for each stage.
HOW DO I (WE) GET THIS DONE?
It takes a village to raise a fall retreat. You will need to build a team and empower others to lead in the four key roles of planning a Fall Retreat. Also, take regular time to pray and listen to God as He guides you and provides what's needed for what He's entrusted you to do.
WHAT IS THE FIRST STEP?
Great question! We will jump over to the lead page and go from there.
