Doxology
Extra-ordinary God in an Ordinary Life
Are you seeking a more powerful sense of God's presence, but don't know where to find it? A deeper experience of Him, but don’t know how to achieve it? Do you sometimes feel inadequate or let down because you don't get more spiritual 'fireworks'? Join with others on this Retreat Day to discover how we can encounter God in the ordinary stuff of life and meet Him on our everyday paths; to recognise His hand and voice always at work and to know His unfailing love in all things.
The retreat takes place on Saturday 8th November from 10.00am to 3.30pm at the Lighthouse, Hilton, Inverness, IV2 4UA and will be led by Merryn Glover (Author) with support from Steve Aisthorpe (Mission Development Worker). The day will offer insights from scripture, sharing encouragement with each other, communal worship and quiet time alone as we draw closer to God and explore the gifts He has for us, in the here and now.
There is a charge of £15 to cover costs and pre-registration is required.
Tea/coffee will be provided and people are asked to bring their own lunch.
Please book and pay online at

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. Psalm 23:1
†Lord, bless those who are ill; be specially near to those who will never be well again; and ease the pain of those whose pain is beyond human skill to help.
†Pray for 100 Christians in Sirisguda, Chhattisgarh state, India who were attacked by Hindu extremists when they challenged their village chief’s decision to deny them food rations because of their faith. Ten believers had to be hospitalised after the vicious assault. Pray for an end to discrimination against these Christians.
†O God, our Father, we remember all this world’s unfortunate ones; refugees without a home and without a state; those who are suffering for their loyalty to some principle which is dearer to them than comfort and than life. Grant that all in trouble may remember your promise that when they pass through the waters you will be with them, and grant that they may find it true. (William Barclay Prayer Book)
†Pray for God to be near you and your family throughout this coming week.
I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. John 16:33
