In-Person - And breathe… A retreat day for youth, children’s and sports ministers
@Ridley Hall, Cambridge
Ridley Hall and Ely Diocese have partnered together to put on a retreat day for all the people we know and want to encourage along in these ministries. You might agree that our name for the day, ‘And breathe…’ sums it up!
We want this day to be a space to remember whose we are and as we worship the One who made us, calls us, and continues to give us hope for the future that we want to share with these precious younger generations. We want to gather together as a tribe, remembering that we might be spending our life in utterly crazy jobs, but we’re in good company! We want to feed you good food over the day. We want to fill you up with good wisdom too, so we’ve asked Mike Pilavachi to join us and give some galvanising and inspiring talks!
