Gathered Worship 

 
At the core of the retreat will be heart-felt gathered worship. Such worship is indispensable to living out the full gospel during the working week. It reveals beauty in our work, in part because it has a deep character-forming role. Although this truth is lost in secular attempts to promote ethics in business, it forms the bedrock of this retreat.

We're delighted that Sam and Sara Hargreaves will once again be leading our worship. They will use materials from their recent book publication, The Rest Is Worship. This looks at rest through the lens of worship, and asks how we can glorify God in things like sabbath, solitude, fun and play.

Sara and Sam co-lead Engage Worship, resourcing local churches for creative, sustainable and world-changing worship. They both studied and London School of Theology and King's College London, and they have taught and led at a wide range of churches and events including Spring Harvest, Youthwork Summit and St Mellitus College.

Sam and Sara are worshippers who let the Sabbath infuse their whole lives rather than spending their whole lives preparing for worship on the Sabbath.
