The Place by the Water

The Place by the Water A Christian place of worship, fellowship and retreat based in Shottisham
www.theplacebythewater.co.uk

We are a Christian retreat centre based in the beautiful Suffolk countryside, on the Wilford Peninsula
We moved to our new home in January 2022, and we are loving our new adventure in Shottisham. The place by the water is a space to take time to be with God: whether it be to refocus in the stillness of a retreat, to come before our Lord in prayer, to go deeper into His word in study, discover your

creative side in one of our many craft workshops or spend time in fellowship where refreshments and food can be provided. ​

Our new location offers -
-a space to take time to be with God
- to refocus in the stillness of a retreat;
- to come before our Lord in prayer;
- to go deeper in His word in study;
- to discover your creative side in one of our many craft workshops;
- to spend time in fellowship with wonderful food and refreshment. We do not charge for any of these facilities but we do accept donations to cover costs.
​
The place by the water is part of the Lightwave Community.

I love when we gather together to worship here at The Place by the Water. Praying together is so powerful - and last night we met for The Well for the last time until September.

We prayed together for our families, those we love, our children, those we know who are ill or struggling. This song says it all - we pray in the mighty name of Jesus. We know we are held.

Our yearly road trip to Bawsdsey Beach is always great fun. It all begins at 4pm with swimming, paddling and crabbing (prize for most crabs and biggest crabs) Bring a picnic for 5pm, we provide cake and fruit plus cold drinks. We then have a time of worship from 6pm, and those who want to stay to watch the sun set are in for a real treat. Please get in touch for more information.

Bawdsey Quay has a car park and toilets which make it the perfect sea side location for a late summer get together.

What a fantastic workshop! It was great fun, a fab way to try puppeting, including tips on writing scripts, lip sincing and talking, setting up theatres and giving puppets a personality. Thanks so much to Graham and Beth for sharing experiences and letting us borrow your beautiful puppets. If your church would like to have a go - please get in touch.
