Advent Retreat This Advent retreat is a time prior to Christmas for you to have a quality space to rest, relax and reflect on the meaning of Christmas for us today, and to help us find space to be before the festivities begin. It is a led retreat and offers plenty of free time for your own enjoyment and refreshment as well as offering daily worship and prayer centred on the Christian theme of Advent.
The retreat begins on Tuesday at 3.45pm with welcomes and introductions, although you are welcome to arrive any time after 2.00pm. After the evening meal there is an evening healing service open to the public. This usually attracts about forty people and last about 90 minutes.
There is a second open healing service on Thursday morning. The retreat ends after lunch on Friday
The remaining time is taken up with reflections on the theme but also provide free time to enjoy the gardens and grounds or go for a local walk in the surrounding countryside. The art room is always available for those wishing to try their skills whether beginners or more experienced. It provides an opportunity to express through painting or drawing what cannot always be expressed through words. The lounge and library also provide comfortable places of quiet for your own relaxation.
Numbers taking part are usually held to about sixteen to give plenty of opportunity for worthwhile sharing. Should you feel the need to pray with someone during your time here about any issue on your heart or mind, members of our experienced Ministry Team are always on hand for confidential and personal prayer ministry as you request.
The retreat ends after lunch on Friday
We look forward to welcoming you to this God given place of healing and renewal.
‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’ John 8:12
