As the pastoral and elder teams at Redemption Arcadia have been speaking with people in our congregation, one topic that keeps coming up is a desire for a full weekend marriage retreat off campus (meaning at a centrally located, spiffy hotel).

We’ve listened — and responded — by putting together just such a retreat at The Arizona Biltmore! (Believe it or not, the Biltmore offered the best value and was the easiest to work with.) This retreat is coming soon:
Friday evening, September 5 – Sunday morning, September 7

What to Expect

Pastor Frank will lead five unique marriage sessions, with topics ranging from Conflict Resolution to Dopamine, False Gods, and Pornography, to Genesis chapters 1–3 and Ephesians 5... and more.
Here’s the session schedule:

• Friday evening will be extra special– 7 p.m. Session One plus a time of praise and worship led by Malia, followed by an interview Pastor Frank will conduct with his wife Jackie, and Sandy Shrader!

• Saturday morning – Breakfast at 8:00 a.m. and session 2 at  9:00 a.m.

• Saturday morning – Break 10:15 a.m. Session 3 at 10:30 a.m.

• Saturday lunch —11:45 a.m.

• Saturday afternoon – Session 4 at 4:00 p.m.
