The past year has been one like no other and many of us are in need of a rest. In the next few weeks, we will be holding events across the association that will allow a break where we can rest, recharge and reconnect with God. Each will have a different emphasis and you are welcome to come to one or all. Lunch and refreshments will be provided and there will be plenty of space to find rest and to reconnect with God and one another.
Monday 11 October (10am-3pm) – Worship, facilitated by Josh and Floss Bishop Hall who have led worship at our Ministers Conference worship for the past few years
During the day, Josh and Floss will be leading us in some extended times of worship as well as helping us to reflect on our identity and calling. There will also be opportunities for prayer ministry with the hope and expectation that God would speak prophetically as a part of this.
