✨ Give the Gift of Rest & Restoration This Christmas ✨
🎄🎁

Some gifts last a moment… this one can shift a whole season of someone’s life.

So many Christians long for a quiet place to breathe again — to sit with God, slow their pace, and simply be — but not everyone has the means to step away for the retreat they deeply need.
Your contribution, whether small or the full cost of a retreat, can open the door for someone who’s running on empty. 💝

Meet Ruth, who recently returned for her second Anew Retreat at Harmony House:

“I was thrilled to be back. As a clergy spouse, life is wonderfully full… but also heavy at times. Between a demanding schedule, recent major surgery, and long-term illness, I was desperate for a little ‘me time.’

Thanks to funding support I was able to attend. Adele held a place for me, encouraged me through the application, and genuinely cared.

The theme was Be Still and Know… and that’s exactly what happened. The house is beautiful, peaceful, and the food is amazing. Slowing down over shared meals, gentle walks, and even a long soak in the tub helped my heart breathe again.

God met me in such a powerful way. During prayer, I felt a physical lightness — like golden air filling my body. My M.E symptoms have significantly decreased, and I fully believe God has begun my healing.

I left refreshed, restored, and renewed in my relationship with the Lord. My prayer is that others get to experience the same blessing.”
— Ruth

If you feel stirred to help someone step into this kind of rest, your generosity could change their lives.

🎄✝️🎁 Give the Gift of Rest & Restoration This Christmas 🎁✝️🎄

Some gifts feel lovely for a moment…
This one can breathe life back into someone’s whole life. 💝

Many Christians long for a quiet place to reconnect with God — to pause, reflect, recover, and let their soul catch up. But not everyone has the means to step away for the retreat they really need.

Your donation, whether it’s a small contribution or the full cost of a retreat, could be the very thing that lifts the weight off someone’s shoulders.

Here’s Ruth’s story from her recent Anew Retreat at Harmony House:

“I was very blessed recently to attend an Anew Retreat — my second time, and I was thrilled to be back!

My husband is full-time Anglican clergy, and the rhythm of that life can be demanding. As a clergy spouse, you often find yourself moving churches, juggling expectations, and quietly carrying more than most people realise. I had been craving a little me time, but there was never space in the diary or spare money to make it possible.

I was so grateful to receive a grant from the Clergy Support Trust, and throughout the application process Adele was incredibly supportive — guiding me through funding options and even holding a place for me because she knew how much I needed this time away. I was offered help from the Anew Retreats subsidy pot if I needed it.

The theme of the retreat was Be Still and Know. The B&B is beautiful, cosy, and set in the most peaceful village. Everything about the retreat encourages you to slow down — shared meals, gentle walks, and even a long soak in the freestanding tub in my room!

God used this time so powerfully. Through the devotionals, prayer, and the Art Sozo, He reminded me of His faithfulness and invited me to rediscover peace, joy, and freedom. During prayer with Adele and Heather, I felt a physical lightness — like golden air filling my body. After twenty years of living with M.E, I truly believe God began a healing work in me as my symptoms have dramatically decreased.

I left refreshed, restored, and renewed in my relationship with the Lord. My prayer is that others are able to receive the same blessing.”

If your heart is stirred, you can make a real difference this Christmas.

A lovely review from a lady on our Be Still and Know Retreat last month.
Ruth says, "I recently attended an Anew Retreat. The theme was Be Still and know that I am God. What an amazing time away! The place is beautiful, so cosy and comfortable, set in a stunning village. The food was incredible, and Adele and her team are such wonderful people; they really take the time to get to know you, listen, pray for you and with you. The retreat really helped me focus on God’s faithfulness; how in being still and dwelling in His green pastures, we can find peace, joy and freedom. I experienced a touch of God’s healing while there and know he is continuing His work in me. The retreat helped me reset my life rhythm to place Jesus at the centre of each day. We completed an Art Sozo as well as devotionals and through all of these, God spoke to myself and her other attendees. I have come away truly refreshed and with a renewed sense of peace in my relationship with the Lord. Plus I enjoyed a lovely bath in the free standing tub!!!"
