Retreat Theme: A Jubilee Pentecost Outpouring Retreat
Retreat Description: Did you ever notice St. Paul was charging hard and fast to be in Jerusalem for Pentecost several years after the first outpouring of the Holy Spirit? (Acts 20:16) Though we don't know all the details, it's safe to say, St. Paul understood there is a Pentecost fullness in God to pursue! (Eph 3:19, 1 Cor 12:31) In the midst of The Jubilee Year of Hope, the London Cenacle Community invites you to come hungry for a life-changing outpouring of the Holy Spirit on your life this Pentecost as they head in prayer to the upper room with Fr. Patrick Gonyeau of Encounter Ministries for a Pentecost Retreat.
