More Food for the Journey
Between six and 12 months after Living a New Life in Christ, each team is encouraged to experience More Food for the Journey. This retreat revisits the themes of the retreat weekend and provides an opportunity for team members to renew their commitment to living a faith-based life in Christ. The retreat usually runs about four hours. Many parishes offer this as a parish-wide event, focusing the invitations on past JOURNEY retreatants. Men and women can be invited to the same event and spouses can be welcomed. More Food for the Journey can also be offered for a single team.
Note: The schedule can be adjusted to accommodate a morning retreat or an afternoon retreat. If the retreat spans lunch time, allow 45-60 minutes for lunch instead of the break.
Three other formats are available and can be adapted for this retreat: Evening of Reflection, a two-hour event, Encounter, a day-long retreat and Evening of Grace and Light, a two-hour event. All three adaptations can be found here.
