Dear Friends,

We are living through uncertain and challenging times, in our personal lives and in the communities in which we live, in our nation and world and at the Centre. As a team we are reading through the book of Zechariah in our morning prayers, and this morning we read – ‘I will encamp at my house as a guard… no oppressor shall again overrun them for now I have seen with my own eyes.’ Zech 9:8. We had the sense that God was watching and seeing and guarding.

As a community, we desire to ‘go’ where God leads, but also to receive his wisdom in how to manage the here and now. We face significant practical challenges and are implementing measures to 'manage on a shoestring' during this season of postponing residential retreats. Originally, we hoped we might be able to put measures in place and host small groups after Easter, but we are now unable to do this as the current government guidance looks set to continue for several weeks, at least.

For those of you who have upcoming bookings and if you have already paid a deposit or the full amount for your week at Harnhill, here are some options for you:

1. You can defer your place: although we are unable to take any bookings for future dates at present, we can hold your deposit for when bookings recommence. We will write to you when we know the date we will recommence bookings;

Or

2. We can issue a full refund of your deposit / payment, if you’d prefer. We know this is a difficult time for people, so we will willingly refund you in full;

Or

3. If you are able, you may wish to donate the amount paid to the centre to help us with our expenses at this time.

We hope to soon offer prayer ministry via video or telephone conference over the internet. If this is something you would be interested in, please also do let us know.

Once we are open again, we will contact you. In the meantime, do contact us if you would like to be kept up to date with news from Harnhill or become a Friend of Harnhill (there is now no annual fee).  We hope and pray you are managing through this challenging time. Please let us know as soon as possible what you would like to do regarding your booking.
