Fresh Expressions Pioneers' Retreat
Lee Abbey, Devon
March 16th – 20th 2009
Time & space especially for individuals and teams pioneering fresh expressions of church
A vital opportunity for those pioneering fresh expressions of church, from whatever tradition of the wider church, to come together for spiritual refreshment and Bible study and to share their experiences of the journey. The pioneers retreat will be led by Rachel Jordan and Colin Brown from the National Fresh Expressions Team, Tom Stuckey from the Methodist Church, and Angela Brown.
Many pioneers feel the burden of being ‘on the edge’ and are naturally very active in their ministry. This retreat offers the space to follow Jesus’ example – of rest and prayer in a remote and beautiful place. ‘Come away to a quiet place…’ Mark 6.31
What to expect:
A special, prayerful place to stop for a few days
Space to reflect, pray, worship and listen
Time to be recharged, refreshed, reinvigorated, encouraged…by giving space and time to God and to yourself
Scriptural reflection from Tom Stuckey and Rachel Jordan relevant to pioneering ministries
Creative approaches to prayer and reflection
Opportunity for one-to-one accompaniment with a member of the team.
Engagement with Lee Abbey community’s ministry
