The Uniting Church in Australia’s Presbytery of Gippsland is holding two opportunities to share a day retreat.

The day retreats will draw on the music of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, and the insights of Alexander Shaia, author of The Hidden Power of the Gospels: Four Questions, Four Paths, One Journey. (See more information here.)

The morning will include a 30 minute introduction touch on Matthew’s Gospel, the question ‘how do we face change’, the pathway of authenticity, and the image of climbing the mountain, together with a time for personal reflection, rest and prayer.

The afternoon will include a 30 minute reflection touching on Mark’s Gospel, the question ‘how do we move through suffering?’ the pathway of courage and vulnerability, and the image of the boat in the storm, together with a time for personal reflection, rest and prayer.

The day will end with a simple shared Eucharist.

The same content will be presented on both days.

Date: June 30th (at Grantville Lodge) OR July 14th (Lake Tyers Camp)
Time: 10am to 4pm
Catering: BYO lunch. Tea and coffee will be provided
More information, and to register: contact the Rev’d Tim Angus, 03 5144 6543 or 0400 383 628, email tim.angus@anamcara-gippsland.org.

There will be further days held on November 10 and 11 to gather and reflect on the Gospels of John and Luke.
