God’s Story, My Story

How familiar are we with the BIG story … God’s story … and our own place within it?

This retreat, led by Paul Rattigan, uses Psalm 90, a prayer of Moses, as a framework for exploring scripture and helping participants to identify where they are personally located within God’s story of salvation.

Participants will examine scripture to think about some fundamental questions that it raises and to reveal how the questions themselves and the uncertainties that surround them are part of one’s personal walk with God.  In doing so, we may ask, “Where does that leave us today and in today’s challenging world?” and, “Why are we sometimes so unaware of God’s presence with us when God is alongside us all the time?”.

During the retreat, participants will have ample time to explore Launde’s many resources, including the serenity of its surrounding estate, and continue their journey alongside God.

Paul will draw the retreat to its conclusion by re-looking at the story of salvation, enabling participants to affirm what they are taking with them  as they depart Launde.
