Keeping it Together: mental health and Christian ministry aims to resource anyone in church leadership to teach and explore those issues biblically in their churches, as well as encouraging people in Christian ministry to look after their own wellbeing.
It would be great if you could join us on the first live session of the new term on 18th September. If you feel you can commend us to others that would be wonderful.
January’s Live Session
Will be on January 22nd from 12 midday to 13.15 as usual. Marcus Honeysett of Living Leadership is going to be addressing the issue of people leaving the ministry through becoming disillusioned, hurt, burned out. It is a vital subject and there will be the usual discussion and questions.
Marcus has authored several books including, ‘Fruitful Leaders – how to make, grow, love and keep them’, and ‘Powerful Leaders – when church leadership goes wrong and how to prevent it’. This will be an outstanding and important session.

Retreat Day
We just enjoyed a super retreat day on Thursday 16th October at Shepherd’s Dene in Northumberland. Watch this space for the dates of days in 2026. This is a wonderful opportunity to take time to relax, reflect and re-orientate as we move into the colder, darker months. We [Rachel Broughton and Dave Burke] will be leading this. Our retreat days are funded by the Henry Smith Charity and are free to anyone involved in Christian ministry.
If you are from the south of England, why not come for a couple of nights (you would need to pay for your accommodation). Drive here or come by train to Riding Mill and we’ll pick you up from the station.
