Light in Darkness, tema-retreat med Christopher Chapman
10.-14. september 2026 får Utstein Pilegrimsgard besøk av Christopher Chapman! Velkommen til en tema-retreat med undervisning av Christopher i temaet: Light in Darkness
Meeting the God of hope within struggle and uncertainty
Christopher presenterer teamet slik:
"Sometimes life is difficult and puzzling. We feel lost, alone or in pain; God might seem far away. This retreat will explore how hope has its roots in a God who is always coming alongside us to draw us into life and freedom. In the darkness of uncertainty, the Holy Spirit is stirring in our human spirit. God wants us to grow.
In the quiet of this retreat, we will become aware of the mystery of God’s creative work in our lives. Drawing on the riches of the Bible, the Christian spiritual tradition and the witness of artists and poets, we will explore how to let go into the love of God that is always working for our good."
