Spirit of Mission: a retreat in the city (Bristol)

A day retreat in the city hosted by CMS Spirit of Mission with Trinity College Bristol.

Nurturing spirituality for mission

In a demanding world how can we be sustained and encouraged in Jesus' mission? Love for God and love for neighbour are at the heart of mission, and can only be sustained in holy encounter. 

This day in will be an opportunity to experience and reflect together on practices of prayer and attentiveness that may open us more deeply to God's presence. 

Together we'll pray with words, explore into silence, and give attention to the gifts of scripture and season. And so, perhaps in some way restored and renewed, to play our part once again in bringing God's healing to all creation.

Further details

The retreat is free, but a donation towards the costs of the day would be appreciated. Tea and coffee is provided – please bring your own lunch or purchase locally.

To book your free place, please contact Linda Sammons on linda.sammons@cms-uk.org or 01865 787482.
