Newy 87.8 FM – The Cluster Parishes of West Maitland have held their annual 'In-House' Retreat, a gathering staged each year on the last weekend of July.
The retreat offers parishioners a chance to slow down the pace of life and nurture their souls through prayer, reflection and teaching.
This year's retreat was directed by Brisbane-based spiritual director and author Dr Patrick Oliver.
Together, the group reflected on how the themes of selected passages of scripture mirror themes that can be observed within their own lives.
Participants were encouraged to see how their lives fit into a much larger and richer whole that sits within the life of God.
According to Newcastle Anglican, all who were able to be present across the weekend appreciated the deep wisdom of both the teaching and the experience of the group.
The parish community is now looking forward to its next retreat, scheduled for July 2027.
Details of upcoming events and other information will be shared on the Maitland Anglican Parish Facebook page.
