This retreat resource is based off the book Core Values: a Spiritual Guide for Core Members. Many of the “teaching points” for each session is taken directly from the book. It is highly recommended that each Core member be given a copy of the book to read before the retreat. This will help the Core team enter more fully into the sessions. The book can also be given as a “retreat gift” at the beginning of the retreat for the Core team to read and pray through on (and after) the retreat.
