Weekend Away 2026
You are invited to our annual Church Weekend Away!
This is our yearly opportunity to go deeper in friendship, in faith and to have loads of fun along the way. With meals, times of teaching, space for worship and maybe even a rounders game too.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW…
WHAT IS IT?
Our Church Weekend Away is a time to be with God, together for 24 hours-ish (Friday 12th June, 6pm - 9pm & Saturday 13th June, 9am - 8pm). As we spend time along the river Trent in Wilford, we are excited to make space for God to speak to us in worship, teaching and new friendships. The day will be filled with delicious meals, great teaching, and opportunities to get to know each other better. We hope and pray that our Church Weekend Away will be a highlight of our year together, so whether you are new to the church or been around for a while, this is for you!
GUEST SPEAKERS
We are delighted to welcome David and Pixie Rowe to join us for our Weekend Away. David and Pixie bring a wealth of experience, wisdom and insight and we are looking forward to hearing from them.
Before returning to Nottinghamshire they lived in Wellington, New Zealand, where David served as Dean of Wellington Cathedral and Archdeacon for Church Health and Growth. Some of you will also know David from his previous ministry in our diocese including as Diocesan Advisor in Evangelism and Vicar of St Wilfrid’s, Wilford. Pixie has served in ministry for over 30 years and was ordained priest in the Anglican Church in New Zealand in 2020.
David has walked with God through over forty years of ministry and more than a decade of cancer. Through his podcast ‘Ending Well” David has been looking back on a life of faith and ahead to the mystery of what comes next, and inviting listeners to journey with him toward ending well. David recently spoke to J. John about his new calling, you can watch that here.
We are looking forward to a wonderful and encouraging weekend with them both.
WHERE IS IT?
We are heading to the beautiful St Wilfrid’s Church campus, Wilford, Nottingham.
