Come Away on a Leaders Retreat Designed for leaders in children's, youth, young adult, and student ministries to step away from the demands of daily workload, this retreat will be focused on finding space for renewal alongside others in leadership roles. Together, we will spend time reflecting on personal spiritual practices rooted in rest. Recognising that so much of ministry is about giving outwardly, this retreat offers an opportunity to look inward and upward—to refocus on God and explore how we can each individually pursue Him more deeply. In the tranquil grounds of the High Leigh retreat centre, the day will be a mix of restful, reflective practices, time to socialise and have fellowship, and workshops for delving into our own spiritual practices, seeking to build up on what already exists. We hope this retreat might be an extension of our regular lunch gatherings, fostering connection and mutual support within our ministry community. Key Information: There are 2 options for this retreat: the overnight retreat, and the day away retreat. The Overnight Retreat: Sometimes a night away does wonders for our sleep patterns! Join us at High Leigh from 5pm on Wednesday the 19th of March. We will have dinner together, share in some evening reflection and games. The following morning will include opportunities for prayer, reflection, and breakfast before we are joined by the day guests. The Day Away Retreat: To take time away from our contexts can be a great way to invest in our ministry. Join us at High Leigh from 9.30am on Thursday the 20th of March. The day's programme will include time for reflection, prayer, fellowship and workshops on spiritual practices. We will share lunch together, and be ready to head home at 4pm. Cancellations: Please note this retreat is fully funded and spaces are limited. If you cancel your booking with less than 4 weeks notice we may charge you if your place is not refilled.

This one hour evening workshop will help you to start the process of thinking about what you want to do (e.g: major repairs, improved access, reordering to create flexible space, installing toilets or a kitchenette) and the initial steps to take towards developing it into a viable project. We'll also look at the different types of funders you might want to consider applying to for a grant. Please note numbers are limited to allow everyone a chance to tak and share their ideas.
