About this Event
Join us for a meaningful and uplifting experience at the Lifted by Grace – St Mark’s Marriage and Children Meeting – Retreat Day.
Prepare for a day centred on faith, renewal and connection as we come together to strengthen our marriages and families. This retreat will take place on Saturday, 19th September 2026 at the Coptic Orthodox Centre, Stevenage.
This special day invites you to reflect on the power of God’s grace in your life — how it restores, renews and lifts us even in our weakest moments. Together, we will explore how grace shapes our relationships, deepens our love and transforms our homes.
Throughout the day, we will engage in enriching talks and an interactive workshop designed to support both marriage and parenting in today’s world. Expect a balance of spiritual reflection and real-life application, helping you walk away encouraged, equipped and strengthened.
For those with children, a full and engaging programme will run alongside the adult sessions, ensuring they also experience a joyful and meaningful day in a safe and nurturing environment.
Come ready to grow in faith, be encouraged in your journey and rediscover the strength that comes from living a life rooted in grace.
Adults – £15 each
