A retreat for clergy and lay leaders seeking to be faithful for the marathon rather than a sprint. We will reflect on ‘the fire that doesn’t go out’ and ‘the well that doesn’t dry up’, welcoming the consolation and inspiration of the Holy Spirit in the joys and sorrows of public ministry. This can also be combined with ‘Nurturing our roots in prayer’ running Monday–Wednesday this week. The retreat is run in partnership with ReSource www.resourcingrenewal.org.
