Carl Slezacek
We are delighted that Carl Slezacek will be leading our ministry during the weekend
when his chosen theme will be: 'It is not optional'
We will have a speaker to bring to us our early morning meditations
Whilst our Instep musicians will inspire us to worship.
Accommodation
We will have our own lounge & meeting room and we will use the dining room. Numbers will be limited so that we will be able to meet in a way that is safe and meets the requirements for social distancing.
Food—Friday Evening meal will be at 8pm
We will usually use the main dining room for our meals. We are looking forward to good food & socially distanced fellowship around the tables together. On Saturday we anticipate a packed midday-lunch
Recreation
We will have a Saturday walk for the fit and able. For those who prefer it is possible to remain on site and use the centre facilities and extensive grounds, maybe visit Oakham or Melton Mowbray (for a pork pie!)
Travel—Please Do Not arrive prior to 4 pm
Travel will be by private car, bicycle or public transport. Travel is generally organised by attendees. However should you require transport please advise us and we will try to facilitate something for you.
Instep—Remaking Man in God’s Image
Instep Men try to meet the need of the whole man, body, soul and spirit as we spend time together over the weekend, we do though, each have a personal responsibility to give and receive. We will be in a lovely part of the country and away from the usual daily demands.
The format of the weekend retreat will be similar to that of previous years, there may be some changes this year to allow us to meet in a way that that is safe and complies with the COVID regulations. Full details will be sent to you closer to the weekend.
The group is made up of men from a wide age group from many different churches and Christian traditions so there is a richness and diversity in our gathering.
Our last session of the weekend is following Sunday lunch when we join together to share communion which is a fitting end to our fellowship together. This will be done in a way that is safe and complies with COVID regulations. You would be very welcome to join us if this has meaning to you.
