Programme
Fri 14 - Sun 16 November
Living in Christ
The apostle Paul experienced a complete turnabout on the Damascus Road. How can we emulate him in `putting on Christ` - that is, how do we leave our old selves behind as we take on the new? We`ll explore some of the rich wisdom of Paul`s letter to the Colossians with plenty of time to engage in prayer exercises to encounter God. Feel refreshed, challenged and equipped to live each new day with Jesus.
Mon 1 Dec
Day of Prayer for Mission
Do you have a heart for the nations or do you know mission workers who need prayer support? Come and join us for a day of prayer for the worldwide mission community. No charge but donations towards a light lunch would be appreciated.
Mon 1 - Fri 5 December
Space to Rest
A week set aside for rest and spending time with God. Book in for the whole week or just a couple of nights. Ruth will host a short prompt morning and evening with time to chat around the fire after supper. An ideal time for anyone wanting to be with God in a loosely structured way with time for accompaniment available. Contact us in the office if you just want to stay for one or two nights.
Mon 8 - Fri 12 December
Painting the Story of Mary
Prayer and Encounter Through Art
We will dwell in the story of Mary, mother of Jesus using drawings and watercolour to describe and listen more deeply to the events that mean the most to us. No artistic skill required, it is about encountering the story and allowing it to become prayer.
Tue 30 December - Fri 2 January
New Year Getaway
Join the team at Penhurst to reflect on the past year and welcome in the new. This retreat will be largely unstructured but there will be prayer times with spiritual input each day, fellowship, fun, delicious home cooked food and the chance to celebrate together. Come and enjoy countryside walks, games around the fire and the chance to take personal time with God in the peaceful and cosy surroundings of the retreat centre.
