FAQ’sQ. Will it affect my studies or work?A. Yes and no. You’ll be even busier that week
because of these extra demands - that's why there's a need to be generous and plan some time out. But that's what will help make this one special week. The retreat runs alongside your normal week...
Q. Will I be asked to do anything embarrassing? A. No you won’t be asked to do anything
embarrassing.
Q. But I don’t know how to pray!A. Join the club! Not a problem. Then this can be a
great start. Come and see!
Q. Why do it?R. When we are generous, God is more so. We
meet a God who loves and calls us. It can also be a great help in making or confirming decisions, big or small.
Q. Who is it for?R. Anyone who wants to deepen their prayer life, or
someone who is not sure what they believe but is willing to take a risk and seriously explore the reality of God. Week of Guided Prayer is based on the Christian path.
Q. How do I book?R. Sorry, it’s not turn up on the day - you need to
book in advance by paying your donation at the Tree House to reserve your place: £10 student, £30 staff Places are limited, so book now!
