This document outlines the objectives and content of a retreat on coming to understand and live out God's plan. The objectives are to become aware of God's plan, accept what has happened with regards to that plan, and act to live it out. The retreat will cover how God created humans with intellect and free will to know, love and serve him, how sin disrupted this plan, and how Jesus Christ offers salvation to restore our relationship with God. Attendees are encouraged to reflect on God's power and willingness to speak to them during a time of stillness.
