Parish Retreat
Together - Practicing the Presence of God
5-7 June 2026
FootHills Conference Centre
48 Edinburgh Rd, Mooroolbark VIC 3138
Life is full, we move quickly from one thing to the next, and even with the best intentions, it can be hard to stay aware of God’s presence in our everyday lives. But we’re not meant to do this alone.
We are a people called to walk together, to encourage one another, to remind each other of what’s true, and to help one another become more attentive to God at work among us.
Over the June long weekend, we’re gathering as a church family for our parish retreat. The theme is: “Together – Practising the Presence of God.”
This weekend is about creating space:
space to be inspired,
space to reconnect,
and space to encounter God again, and perhaps for some of you, for the first time.
Because when we turn our attention toward God, God meets us. When we gather in unity, something shifts. Faith is stirred, hearts are refreshed, and people are strengthened.
There’ll be worship, prayer, teaching, and shared meals, conversation, and moments when God meets us in ways we didn’t expect.
You matter in this community. And your presence matters. This weekend won’t be the same without you.
God has something for us in this retreat: a deeper awareness of His presence.
