Overall theme for 2019: "THE POWER OF PRAYER"
- Praying to make a difference in the world.
Charismatic Renewal reminds the Church that God still wants to empower His people to transform lives and change society. This year's programme will show us how to renew our prayer lives through the power of the Holy Spirit, so that we can be more effective ambassadors of God's Kingdom, making a real difference in people's lives and the world. For details of the year's programme, press the red button below.
You are most welcome to come and celebrate with us and renew your faith at this mini-retreat day any month. There is no need to book in advance and it’s completely free but we do invite donations on the day, for those who can afford it, to cover our speakers' expenses; and the costs of venue hire, our administration and publicity. We do not look to make any profit from the days.
