However, permission is granted to subscribers to share (with attribution) some of the contents within their worship services, congregational newsletters, and small groups. The Personal Email Retreats may not be forwarded (this can result in accidental unsubscribing, which is challenging to remedy.) CONGREGATIONAL subscribers may submit up to five names/emails, per retreat, at no additional cost. If there are more than five people from the congregation interested, please contact me for a congregational price for the Email Retreats.
