Rediscovering the Ministry of Blessing

With Russ Parker

The power of blessing is a largely undiscovered and little practised ministry. This Retreat Day is an opportunity to explore and practise what it means to bless someone. We will be looking at the purpose of blessing and some of the outcomes which Scripture encourages us to expect as a result. As well as teaching on the subject of blessing there will be opportunities in small groups to practise how to bless with effect.
