RIVER’S
WEEKEND AWAY
WE ARE SO EXCITED TO BE HEADING AWAY AS A CHURCH FAMILY!
On Friday 10th October we will be heading to Highgate House for a weekend of worship, discipleship and fellowship in rural Northamptonshire.
A weekend away is always a notable occasion in the church calendar, a time where the family not only grows closer with each other but also closer with God.
We will have provision for our River Tots, River Kids and Edge so they can learn and grow in a safe environment just as much as the adults. Over the weekend we will gather in main sessions together to worship and have messages from a guest speaker, there will be time in the day for activities, excursions, and socialising. In the evening there will be after hours entertainment and a bar, offering a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks as well as snacks, making it the perfect place to unwind and catch up with friends.
The venue, Highgate House, is a stunning former coaching inn in the village of Creaton dating from 1663. Today it is a modern and well-equipped conferencing centre for Christian groups.
A getaway with the whole family
