Close Encounters with God - Dare to Draw Near!

The great challenge for every Christian leader is to ensure that their work for God does not squeeze out their life with God. Join Rev. Daniel Kane and Roz Stirling in a morning of biblical reflection and prayer.
​Daniel will walk us through Genesis 18, looking at Sarah's encounter with God which was to impact the rest of her life.   
​There will also be space for personal time apart with our Father God and fellowship and support from colleagues and friends.

A Sacred Pilgrimage

This two day residential retreat at the beginning of a new year is an opportunity for ministers and  Christian leaders ( and their spouses ) to have some time apart from the demands of ministry when they will be minister to!

Rev. David Cupples from Enniskillen, spent his sabbatical time in 2017 walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain.  This life-changing adventure created space for un-distracted time with God which was transformative for him personally and for his ministry. David will lead our retreat, supported by Roz Stirling, Director of Cleopas.

More Info

In the spring of 2017, Rev. David Cupples, minister of Enniskillen Presbyterian Church, decided to spend his sabbatical time walking the Camino de Santiago, a popular route for Christian pilgrimage in Northern spain. David writes: ' I realised this was an adventure I could go on which would allow time and space for me to meet with God. I prepared meticulously for 18 months, did a 670 mile walk, and had the time of my life.'

David will lead us in our pursuit of God through biblical reflection and prayer, creating a two day retreat that will restore and refresh any who are in ministry and the service of others.
