Ridley Hall and the Diocese of Ely present "And Breathe" A chance for those in Children, Youth and Sports ministry to seek out rest and the breath of God.
After our wonderful And Breathe retreat day last year, we are going to host another one this year! And Breathe is a one-day retreat for children, youth, and sports ministers held in partnership with the Diocese of Ely, at Ridley Hall in Cambridge. We want to do what we can to champion you and your work and because of the great ministries we see our students and colleagues doing in this field, and more importantly, because of the God we worship, we have hope, despite the significant challenges which face us! But as we move forward in mission and ministry, we recognise the need to create moments to retreat and be with our creator. For this reason, we call our retreat day, And Breathe
We have structured the day around services to meet and worship, and to hear God's word. In between, there will be opportunities to connect with others, eat good food, and to take time out in prayer and reflection. Tickets are £40 and this price is inclusive of food and refreshments during the day. Please do come and bring your colleagues along too.
We are also offering consultation slots with our in house and invited experts for those who would like them. If you'd like a consultation please book a free consultation ticket with your 'And Breathe' ticket at the box office. We will liaise with you regarding your consultation time nearer the date of the event.
We know that it will be a great day, and we would love you to join us in coming together, taking a breath, remembering whose we are, and why our mission and ministries are so important.
