National Retreat Week (21 - 28 September 2024)
2024-09-21 00:00 - 2024-09-28 23:59 | Lincolnshire, United Kingdom
National Retreat Week – renew:all (21-28 Sept 2024) is a new initiative for individuals, churches and groups to promote contemplation, prayer and retreat in a variety of Christian traditions.

We are all busy juggling everyday life and it can be difficult to make space to reflect, contemplate or pray.

The benefits of taking time out to pause, breathe and reset the rhythm of our lives is invaluable – time to trust in God more, nourish our souls, check in with our life’s direction, look afresh and renew our mind, body and soul.

Renew:all is an invitation to take time out to retreat at home, at church, or at one of over 200 Christian retreat centres across the UK. There are lots of ways to get involved, whether you are experienced or new to Christian retreats.

Visit the website for inspiration and free resources from a range of well-known retreat leaders to join in – during the week or indeed at any time of year. Contributors include Brian Draper, Paula Gooder, Adjoa Andoh, Richard Carter and more.

A new set of specially curated reflections and retreat activities from John Bell, Muyiwa Olarewaju, Chine McDonald and more are shared during National Retreat Week in late September.

Please sign up online to receive them direct to your inbox, and help us introduce more people to the benefits of retreats by sharing the invitation in your church and networks.
