District Pastor & Church Worker Retreat 2023
Where: Adelaide West Uniting Church
When: 12 & 13 September 2023 Time: 9am - 3pmWorking in ministry can be challenging and lonely. That's why it's important for us to take time out, reconnect with God and be a support to one another. Our Pastors and Church Workers retreat is an opportunity for us all to get together in God's grace and share in the joys and struggles of ministry.
The theme for our retreat is "Sharing in Ministry". We will be spending time in worship, getting real in discussion, and spending quiet time with God. We have a line-up of speakers from the Global Leadership Network with will be encouraging us to think about what servant leadership looks like. And Pastor Kynan Brookes from GLN will be joining us in person to facilitate some reflection times. There are no activities planned in the evenings, as we want you to spend the time however you would like with friends, or catching up on some rest.
To all of our wonderful church workers we are so excited to invite you to our retreat for the first time. It is going to be a real blessing to have you with us. The work that you do is vital for the life of our church and we pray that this conference will be an opportunity for you to find encouragement and inspiration.
