Breaking from the Climb.

ABC FIRE-break Retreats offer you an opportunity to take a break from the hurry, distraction and ‘burning’ issues of daily life in order to allow God to rekindle your spiritual FIRE through Fellowship, Insight, Renewal or Exploration, either individually or as a group. Fellowship, Insight and Renewal Days usually take place on a Friday, with lunch provided. Exploration Mornings take place on a Saturday, with breakfast provided. The retreats typically include times of devotion, reflection, teaching, group discussion, prayer and solitude and are based in Little Chalfont, Bucks, HP8.
