Knowing You Jesus

Leader: Tony and Jilly Horsfall

A retreat for those in Christian ministry at home or abroad. This retreat is built around the famous prayer of Richard of Chichester which expresses his desire to know Jesus more fully in the beautiful words: `to see you more clearly, love you more dearly and follow you more nearly.` Hopefully this reflects the longing of every follower of Jesus, and by spending time in the gospel narratives we can immerse ourselves in his life so that by being with him we become like him and learn to do what he would do. There will be times for worship, personal reflection and personal accompaniment if desired. We will be using material from the book `Knowing You, Jesus` (BRF 2023) copies of which will be available at a discount price of £15 at the retreat. Tony & Jilly Horsfall

Invitations in the Wilderness

Leader: Mags Duggan

This is a retreat for those in vocational ministry or mission. It`s inevitable. A given. No child of God gets a free pass - including those called to minister in his name. We will all spend time in the wilderness. The wilderness is not a comfortable place; it can be a place of disorientation, of questioning, of distress and doubts. It is the place where we come face to face with the reality of our humanity; our limitations, our fears, our weaknesses and our temptations. And yet the wilderness is also the place where we are invited to encounter and embrace God`s presence and purposes for us in ever more profound ways. We are invited into a growing intimacy with God and a greater likeness to Jesus. In our time together we will draw from the Scriptures to explore the invitations which God holds out to us in the harder seasons of our lives - our wilderness days - and the lessons which the wilderness offers us which can shape our lives and ministries. Each teaching session will be followed by a time for personal reflection and prayer. There will be plenty of space for solitude and quiet, and an opportunity for spiritual direction if desired.

Residential price: £395.00
Non-residential price: £245.00

We will reflect on our connectedness to Jesus, our receptivity and our capacity to engage with him and his call for our lives.
