Weekend Healing Retreats, Weekend Healing Retreats provide an opportunity to come aside for personal reflection and renewal of body, mind or spirit. They are open to those of any church denomination, or of none, seeking Christian healing and wholeness.
The retreat begins at 3.45pm on Friday with welcomes and introductions, although you are welcome to arrive any time after 2.00pm. There is a time of quiet worship to settle us into our time away. After an evening meal we have an hour in which we explore what is meant by Christian 'healing', looking in particular at the variety of healing stories and events told in the Gospels so that we might be able to identify our own healing needs today.
On Saturday morning there is an optional Communion service before breakfast then we look further at the need for healing and what can rob us of wholeness in our life experiences. After coffee there is a guided meditation in which we are given opportunity to relax in the presence of the risen Jesus.
Saturday afternoon is taken up with prayer ministry when retreat participants are given the opportunity to pray confidentially with a member of our experienced ministry team so that issues can be addressed and healing found. There is also time to explore the gardens and grounds or to go for a walk in the surrounding countryside. There is a fully equipped Art room for you to enjoy and the lounge and library also provide comfortable places for your own relaxation.
After dinner the day concludes with Night Prayer and a reflection on anointing as we prepare for the healing service on Sunday morning.
The weekend concludes after lunch on Sunday. Numbers taking part are usually held to about fourteen to give plenty of opportunity for personal space and peace. 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
