Burrswood have sent the following message: 

"We have a number of very interesting spiritual events and training days at Burrswood Health and Wellbeing taking place over the coming weeks that we think will be of interest to you and your congregation.

Please see attached our literature on our Creation and Creativity retreats, our ‘Delving Deeper’ day event, where we explore Christian wisdom through art and music and our training event days in association with Acorn.

All events are open to individuals, churches, chaplaincies and community groups.

The Acorn training days in particular would be a really inspirational way of bringing Churches, chaplaincies or community workers together to learn more about the ministry of healing and wholeness and how to deliver it authentically in the community.

We would be really appreciative if you could circulate the attachments around any contacts you think would be interested in learning more or print them out an posting them on your Church notice board. If you would like any more information then please call Burrswood Health and Wellbeing on 01892 865988 or drop me an email.
