What you can expect
Firstly, you can expect a warm welcome! Come away and experience Worship, Deliverance, Empowerment and Healing through a self guided retreat with ministry sessions as required. Though this is mostly done at your own pace and time (through the prayer walk) you are also welcome to join in shared times of worship and prayer (we have developed a celtic style daily office which includes morning, noon and evening prayers). This will be held in the main kitchen and eventually in the Chapel when complete.
​
For days out there is a plethora of places to visit including the lake district (35 mins to north lakes), Scottish borders and south west beaches, heading east to the lovely town of Hexham and north east coast (1.5hrs), not forgetting Carlisle itself with its beautiful Catherdral and historical castle. The prayer walk is mostly self-guided (apart from when ministry is required) and consists of the 4 words/corners of Harker Grange grounds:
​
WORSHIP
Whilst we love worship singing and music (and certainly include this in our retreats) - this is actually about obedience and sacrifice (the first mention of the word worship ('Shachah' in hebrew) in the bible is connected to Abraham and Issac) and means to 'bow down' Are you willing to lay down both your burdens and blessings should the Lord require you to? We talk about an 'Open Palm' position.
​
DELIVERNACE
This is not so much as casting out demons (though on rare occasions may be called for) but identifying any barriers in your life (whether known or unknown) that prevents you being in an 'open space' of freedom and connection with God. We are on hand to help you break any vows, lies, generational issues, strongholds and mindsets that are holding you back.
​
EMPOWERMENT
One of our passions is to rekindle your faith through God's word - walk the Labyrinth and listen to teaching to refresh and revitalise your spirit.
​
HEALING
We believe in Gods word and promise of healing for all who need a touch from Him. Whether thats emotional, physical or spiritual healing come in faith and expect refreshment for the journey ahead.
