Monday 24th – Tuesday 25th June 2024
Our retreat gave us the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful surroundings at Shepherds Dene, with time for fellowship andfun as well as well as times of silence and reflection.
Our leader was the Revd. Robert Lawrance, Vicar of St Francis, Heaton. His theme was ‘Hope in a hot climate.’ In a time of global uncertainty, Robert drew on the spiritual teaching of St Francis of Assisi to offer a positive vision for the future.
