We’ll gather for a period of prayer in the morning, and sessions of readings, reflections, prayer and sharing at lunchtime and in the evening, following the advent themes of love, joy, peace and hope.
The retreat is designed for people to be able to dip into. Some will be able to attend everything, but, if the diary doesn’t make that practical, people are welcome to join in when they can. It can help to think of the retreat as the backdrop to their experiences of God in these days and the “drawing together” session on the Saturday evening will think about where we’ve encountered God during the week — in the sessions and in everything else we’ve been doing.
There are three sessions each day — a period of prayer in the morning, and sessions at lunchtime and in the evening that will include reflections, time for prayer, and talking in the group.
Please click the booking link at the bottom of this page to book. Bookings will close at 2100 on Monday 2 December: the zoom link will be sent to those who have booked later that evening.
