THE RIVER led by Phil Hulks
21/22 and 28/29 APRIL 2023
Venue: TBC, Bangor
INTRODUCTION
The RIVER is a 4-day retreat centred around the moment when Jesus walked into the water to be baptised by his cousin John.
After his baptism, as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending life a dove and settling on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy” (Matt 3:16-17).
This moment marked the beginning of the most amazing three years that anyone has ever lived on this earth – three years that has literally turned the world upside down.
We have been invited to step deeper into God’s river:
• Surrender our lives to Jesus
• Hear the voice of the Father
• Become a landing place for the Holy Spirit
