An Advent Retreat led by Revd Penelope SwithinbankCost: £345.00 to include an ensuite bedroom and all meals.
3 questions from Luke 1, of disappointment, desperation, desire; of inadequacy and control. And how these questions speak into our own situations today.
It’s a time to leave aside the busyness of the Christmas preparations and have time to take a deep breath and prepare ourselves for the coming of Emmanuel, God with us.

Arrival is through the afternoon on the Tuesday in time for 5:30pm. All meals are included, along with tea/coffee throughout. The retreat will end after lunch on the Thursday.

She has had an international ministry, including churches in America and the UK and her most special memory is of opening the US Senate in prayer and being guest chaplain.

She is the author of three books, Women by Design and Walking Back to Happiness; her third, Scent of Water, is a devotional for times of spiritual bewilderment and grief. She is a wife, mother and grandmother and says of the 6 grandchildren that they are so wonderful she should have had them first.
