Guided Retreat | The Throne of Grace | Joe and Cathy Silmon | 6 Nov 2026

The Throne of Grace

“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

— Hebrews 4:16

Join Cathy and Joe at The Wellspring for a gentle and reflective retreat exploring the words of the Apostle Paul: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)

Join Cathy and Joe at The Wellspring as we come aside with Jesus and invite Him to reveal to us how truly amazing grace is.

When Jesus sacrificed Himself on the Cross for our sins, He gave us something in return – His righteousness. This divine exchange gives us access to God and we are able to approach the throne of grace with boldness.

Set in the peaceful surroundings of The Wellspring, this day is an invitation to slow down, listen, and encounter God in a fresh and personal way—discovering that His grace is not only sufficient, but present, active, and deeply transformative, even in the places we find hardest to bear.

Retreat areas will be available both indoors and outdoors (weather permitting). Numbers are limited to 15 to ensure a peaceful atmosphere, allowing personal space for reflection.
