SUMMARY:Epiphany Retreat: In the Beauty of Holiness ***FULLY BOOKED***
DESCRIPTION:Epiphany Retreat: In the Beauty of Holiness \nThe New Year nestles in two of the great Christian festivals of Christmas and Epiphany and this retreat will enjoy that experience before we are pushed on into the expectations that come with the turn of the year. \nChristmas seems to be over so quickly after all the anticipation and Epiphany with its world-embracing themes can be no more than a walk-on part for the visitors from the East. In our time together we will re-visit the music\, scriptures and symbolism of each season and savour their gifts of hope and inspiration for our pilgrimage of prayer and trust in God\, the Word become flesh. \nThere is time enough to take up the call to be Christ’s people in the world. For a short time\, we will seek to rest in the beauty of the holiness of the child\, Saviour of the world and meet his spirit in the struggles and gifts of life today. \nJohn Rackley \nRevd John Rackley\nJohn Rackley has been in Baptist ministry as pastor and university chaplain for 40 years and is a former President of the Baptist Union.
