How to Prepare For Your Couples Weekend:
Accommodations’/Travel
Redding has its own airport, so you can fly there or drive up from Sacramento airport which is
two hours away from Redding.
Redding is tucked away between beautiful Northwest California mountains, but doesn’t
experience snow in the winter, except for severe weather conditions. Shop for your favorite
hotel or Airbnb in the area for your stay. Make sure that you arrive before Friday at 5 PM so
you can get settled in and that you leave on Sunday night or Monday morning.
Food
During the retreat, we will have snacks available, beverages, and hot tea/coffee and for lunches
and dinner, there will be times for you and your spouse to get away together and times for your
small group, which you will be in for the duration of the weekend to eat out together as well.
If you have food allergies, we advise you bring your own specialty items with you, but we will
have organic choices as well for snacks.
What to Bring
Redding can dip down to the 40’s in the winter, so dress warm, layer, and have a warm coat
and shoes with you. We ask that you bring a journal or notebook, Bible, and pen with you.
Prepare Your Hearts
Kevin and I have found that taking steps towards joy in our marriage, believing for greater
breakthrough in connection is key for how move forward as a couple, so we ask that you find
others to pray for you and for what you want to see happen for our weekend together.
