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 are delighted that Hannah Hodges will be leading our worship. Hannah is passionate about articulating what life can be like as a Christian in a raw and honest way, addressing things like struggling to read your Bible, imposter syndrome or navigating grief and lament, whilst placing Christ at the centre of it all. 

Hannah has taught a number of seminars and run workshops at various Christian conferences and events in the U.K.. She is a worship leader and choir director, lectures in Worship Studies & Vocals at Nexus ICA, been featured on UCB2 radio, is a member of Resound Worship and released released her debut EP ‘Taking Ground’ in 2022. She continues to write worship songs that have raw, honest, biblically based lyrics and often tackles “taboo” topics within the church. 

When she accepted our invitation to lead our worship, she said: 

The theme sounds brilliant. I’m just reading Tim Keller’s last book he wrote, ‘forgive’ which is mainly on this topic and it’s so impactful.
