We have to admit to a degree of excitement as TBGL is hosting its first overseas retreat in just over one weeks’ time. Previously we have held our annual get togethers in the UK, and we have enjoyed some great teaching and times of passionate worship, and firm friendships have been formed.
We've been very blessed that some of our members from the US have made the trip in the past, so it's even more exciting to be reconnecting with some of them, as well as meeting many new people in person for the first time.
Of course, we really do know each other well, meeting weekly on Zoom; but nothing can beat the sense of love and community that comes from spending quality time with each other in the same room.
The theme of our retreat this year is John 8 36 –“who the son sets free is free indeed!” No matter how long you have been a Christian, we all pick up baggage along the way and it is refreshing to be able to take two days out of our busy schedules to allow the Holy Spirit access to remind us of the freedom we walk in as children of God.
When was the last time you stopped, and allowed yourself to relax in the presence of God?
We know that many who are attending are really looking forward to having space and time, in a beautiful setting, to re calibrate and reconnect with God in a more intimate way. If you are one of the people who couldn’t make it this year, we encourage you to diary some time between the 11th and 13th October to spend with God. Abide in the verse in John 8:36 and ask God where does he want to bring you more freedom, what burdens are you carrying that he simply doesn’t want you to bear any longer?
And if you are a member of our Abba’s Heart or TBGL groups please do think about joining us for future events, keep an eye on our social media pages or contact us by email to register for details of future events.
