Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to get up and talk?                                       
  No, you do not have to get up and talk. You may verbally contribute as much or as little as you feel called to do during small group table sharing about a given topic or in large group sharing opportunities.                

Do I have to stay overnight? 
    The weekend retreat is a time not only for yourself but also to come together with others in an environment that is "away from the world."  This is part of community building, getting to know others through an opportunity you probably would not otherwise have.   However, if you have health concerns, etc. other arrangements can be made.  Just make sure you identify any and all of your special needs on the application.                                                                                                                                    

I have special dietary needs.   

Not a problem!…when completing your application, list your dietary requirements on the application form, and the CRHP Hospitality Committee will make sure your needs are accommodated             

 

Do I have to commit to a six-month team?

  This is a weekend  retreat.  Please look at it as a peaceful time to get away from the hectic pace of the world and to draw closer to the Lord.    You will be invited to be there for a future group.  You will be given an opportunity to make a prayer filled decision about the invitation.  In short, you do not have to commit to a six month team and you won't be committing during the weekend.  Faith is a journey we take one step at a time.                                                    

If I do not become part of a team, what happens?

You will still be part of the community that has experienced the CRHP retreat.  You can still participate even though you are not part of a team.  You can support a weekend by volunteering time to help with the meals and other behind the scenes duties.  Most of all, you can invite others to experience the weekend for themselves.  Being a fisher of other men and women is a very important job in this renewal movement.            

 

I don’t know much about the Bible. 

Scripture will be presented throughout the weekend by the facilitators, but knowledge of the Bible is not a requirement for the weekend.                                                                                         

 

I am too busy. 

This is the perfect for you!  It is a great opportunity to escape the worries of the world, enjoy great fellowship and food, and to “recharge” your spirit with a short journey away from the world.
