City Churches Retreat in Daily Life

Easter - Pentecost

Monday 19th April opening at St Paul's and St George's at 7.30pm.

Closing on Tuesday 25th May at St Johns, at 7.30pm.

A Retreat in Daily Life offers the chance to make some quiet prayerful space without leaving home or taking time away from work. This kind of retreat normally takes place over a few weeks, often in one of the seasons of the church year, such as Advent (before Christmas), Lent (before Easter) or Pentecost (after Easter).

For the period of the retreat, you make a commitment to praying each day, and to meeting once a week for a conversation about prayer with a spiritual director/companion.

There is a welcoming service at the start, and a similar shared service to close. Retreats in daily life are often organised by a group of churches working together, but you don’t have to be a regular church-goer to take part.

There is usually a modest charge for the retreat in daily life, but this can be set aside for those who can’t afford it.

Epiphany Group members working on retreats in daily life as spiritual directors/companions have completed recognised training and are supervised.
