Alton Castle Autumn Long Weekend - Keeping Ourselves Fuelled and Aflame


Be filled with the love of God. Don’t burn out; keep yourselves fuelled and aflame. Romans 12:11-13

In this busy world it’s easy to experience burnout that makes us less able to do what we are called to do. This weekend we aim to nourish ourselves and provide 72 hours on the road to happiness.

By keeping ourselves fuelled and aflame, we are in a better place to fill the world with the love of God. Expect to experience the wonders and miracles of God as we embrace the Holy Spirit through prayer, fellowship, the breaking of bread and the teaching of the apostles.

Use this weekend to take time out from day to day life and enjoy exercise, nature, meditation, socialising – rest in the Spirit and fill your cup for the long term happiness of yourself and others!
