Church Retreat

A group of 14 journeyed to Buckden Towers, a few miles south of Huntingdon yesterday to take part in a church retreat. Ably directed by Robyn Johnstone, there was a lot of time and space for personal reflection, prayer and meditation.

For some who had never experienced this type of worship or fellowship with God before found it difficult at first, but had really enjoyed the experience by the end of the day.

It was a valuable time of relaxing, 'unplugging' from our fast paced digital world and intentionally carving out space to seek and to simply be with God. We are hoping to have another retreat in about 6 months or so - if you didn't make it to this retreat why not join us next time?

 

Some comments from participants:

"Restful and peaceful"

"Such a priviledge to be still and know You are God. The quiet of the chapel was something else. You just had to be there!"

"Wonderful to have permission to stop"

"Wonderful to have time out from a busy life to listen to God. Thank you Lord for making some things clear to me - please give the strength to carry them through" 

 

Spiritual Formation Seminar

Thanks to Robyn Johnstone who ran the Spiritual Formation Seminar on Saturday in the new church rooms to the side of the Queen Mary Centre. Around 20 people attended the seminar and learnt about how we are more 'spirit' than we are 'physical body' so therefore it is important to take the time to nurture and grow our spirit. The seminar looked at a deeper understanding of this concept as well as offering suggestions and tools as to how we go about doing this.

By tyring to build up our spirit, by engaging more with Jesus and opening up or lives to respond to Him, this will help us become more spiritually mature in Christ, which is the core of the vision of The King's Church, Wisbech: 'That we may presenting everyone mature in Christ'.

Part of the discussion was about the possibilities of going on a retreat. This is a very real possibility and anyone who would like to take part on a day retreat (or possibly a 2 day retreat with a 1 night stay), please contact the church office for more information.
