In this retreat we’ll take time to move from active ministry to a ‘quiet place’ to stop, rest, reflect. From this place we will reflect on our experience of ministry in the light of Luke 10 - Jesus’ sending out of the seventy-two. Seeking in this to recognise the life-giving affirmations of Christ, draw upon his peace that we are able to go from the retreat with greater peace in our soul.

There will be within this silent retreat short talks to give some focus and suggestions for further prayer and reflection. There will be opportunity for resting, wandering the dales, praying and some times for sharing in small groups.
