The Meaning is in the Waiting

The Meaning is in the Waiting

“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him…”

— Psalm 37:7

Join Paul at The Wellspring for another Advent Retreat, as we wait together for the coming of the Saviour, Child-King, the God-Man, the Light of the World.

In the waiting, God is at work, we get to be with Him, we can learn to let go, and we can learn that He is the One who is there for us.

Retreat areas will be available both indoors and out - weather permitting. Our spaces are communal and may be shared by others who are attending the day.

Numbers are limited to 15 to ensure a peaceful atmosphere, and allow personal space for reflection.
