Stepping Into the Bible
20th October 2025, 4:00 pm to 23rd October 2025, 2:00 pm
£495
For many people, including Christians, the Bible is a bit of a closed book; this retreat opens it up. We step into the world of the Bible where we discover an evolving story in which people struggle with the same questions as we do, and where old ideas are discarded and are replaced by new. We see how the Old and New Testaments relate to one another, and as we move from the old to the new we see how ideas about God and Jesus, salvation and morality changed over the centuries. We are led on a journey of faith that helps us get on to God’s wavelength; we discover that Christian faith is more than a set of beliefs about God, prayer and getting to heaven. It is very much about the way we live our lives, here and now, so that God’s will is done and God’s kingdom comes on earth as in heaven.
It’s from the old I travel to the new
keep me travelling along with you.
