Where Hope Sat Down - Christian Skit

The retreat materials are written for one long, complete teaching session, which can be presented in a variety of ways depending on your event format. Many leaders use it as the foundation for a half-day or single-session retreat, while others divide it into 2–3 parts to create a full weekend experience.

The included teaching, devotional, discussion, and reflection sections are flexible and detailed enough to support multiple sessions with space for worship, crafts, breakout groups, and personal application. Whether you're planning a short gathering or a full retreat weekend, the content is designed to work with your schedule.

Here’s one example of how a weekend retreat could be structured using this content:

*Friday Evening — Session 1: Opening & Foundation

-Welcome + Opening Prayer

-Theme Introduction

-Personal Story

-Scripture Reading & Commentary

-Optional: Short discussion or journaling time

*Saturday Morning — Session 2: Core Teaching

-Recap & Prayer

-Teaching Section (Part 1 and Part 2 from the expanded outline or script)

-Small Group Discussion

-Optional: Craft or creative activity

-Worship or prayer time

*Saturday Afternoon or Sunday Morning — Session 3: Devotional Focus & Sending Out

-Devotional Teaching (from the included devotional + additional teaching content)

-Individual Reflection Questions (journaling time)

-Final Teaching Section (Living It Out / Becoming Messengers of Hope / Christ-Confidence Daily)

-Group Response Time and testimony sharing

-Closing Remarks & Final Prayer

Quiet reflection time can be woven into each session or scheduled separately throughout the weekend. The Individual Reflection Questions included in the bundle are ideal for helping participants go deeper in their personal time with God.

Sharing testimonies often ends up being one of the most meaningful parts of a retreat, so creating space for women to share how God is working in their lives can be powerful.

If you’re planning a full weekend event, you may also want to include breakout sessions. You’ll find a variety of ideas for those here: https://lovingchristministries.com/breakout-session-resources/
