A spiritual retreat and fun filled time together as a church family:
Cloverley Hall, 26th - 28th September 2025

Join us for a fun-filled and spiritually refreshing weekend away. This is our third year at Cloverley Hall, a beautiful country house in Shropshire, and we have found it the perfect opportunity to escape the busyness of everyday life, and reconnect as a church family and grow in our faith.

We'll have a variety of activities to choose from, including:

  • A welcome bonfire

  • Times of worship and teaching for adults and kids

  • Meals together (the weekend is fully catered)

  • Free time to explore the grounds or take a trip out

  • Organised walks, crafts and more on Saturday afternoon.

  • Swimming in the onsite heated indoor pool

  • Quizzes, games and lots of fun times together in the evenings.

  • And more

Mike and Mary Sares

Guest Speakers

We're delighted to welcome Mike and Mary Sares as guest speakers for our weekend away. In February 2000 they hosted a dozen young adults in their living room, this gathering would become Scum of the Earth, a church in Denver Colorado for "the left-out and the right-brained." In February of 2019, Mike passed the torch to the next generation of leaders while he and Mary embarked on a new ministry called Steel Toaster Ministries, encouraging and equipping a new generation of church planters, leaders, pastors, and missionaries. We are one of the churches that has benefited from their support and guidance so we couldn’t be more excited to welcome them to the UK and hear what they have for us.

Donate

For the past two years, donations have fully funded our church weekend away, making it accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. This year, we aim to continue this practice and need to raise approximately £180 per adult, £80 for each 4-12 year old, and £130 for each 13-16 year old to cover costs. If you'd like to contribute to this, you can give online by card or a one off Direct Debit. All contributions go directly to the weekend away fund, with any remaining money supporting the ongoing work of StoryHouse Church.
