Weekends – Maranatha Community

Band of Brothers

Be Bold, Be Strong, the Lord Your God is With You

God is opening up a fresh vision for the Church with a renewed call to men to occupy the gates of our nation! For some time the Maranatha Community has been in training to ‘Ascend and Advance’ and a key part of this learning has been to accept that God will lead us on new paths that we have not known before.

The days we are in are evidently new territory for us all, but God is leading us and showing that this is now a season of great opportunity and fulfilment of our calling. This weekend retreat is more than two days of great fellowship and encountering the Holy Spirit together. We see it as the launch of a community of men who will explore, occupy and build in this new season of the Kingdom of God and revival in the nation. We will be digging deeper through the shifting sands of all that is changing, and revealing the rock upon which Jesus is calling us to build!
Join us!

Cloverley Hall is a splendid setting and there will be opportunity to use the indoor heated swimming pool, and the games room.

We are keen to enable younger men (18+ including students) to participate in this weekend of fellowship. Please consider if there is someone you could invite. Would you be willing to make a financial gift towards the cost of the weekend ? so that we are able to give bursaries to those less able to afford it. If so, please contact the Maranatha office.

Hearing the Still Small Voice of God

In a world bombarded by noise and contradictory voices, the Lord’s call to His people remains the same as it was spoken through the Biblical prophets: “Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, and you will find life.” (Is 55.3). But how do we hear His still, small voice? Mother Teresa taught that the starting place is silence. In the ‘silence of the heart’ we can hear God’s voice and be filled with Him. Brother Roger of Taizé said that in a noisy world, silence is the language of God.
