          April Quiet Day: Hills of Prayer and Truth

          The Quiet Day will spend time on two hills outside Jerusalem which play an important part in the final days of Jesus – Olivet and Calvary. An opportunity to prepare yourself for the approach of Easter in the company of our Lord and Saviour.

          Our facilitator, John Rackley, has been in both locations on a number of occasions and will bring his own experiences to supplement the voice of Scripture and Christian devotion.

                Holy Week with the Launde Abbey Community

                Stay and pray as part of the Launde Abbey Community in Holy Week. 

                The days of the week will be structured around participation with the community in our daily services and each day will focus on one of the stories that leads towards the crucifixion and beyond. Each day will work as a stand-alone for those on 24-hour retreat, as well as a series through the week.  There will be no led retreat addresses but some prompts for how to spend this special time.

                We want to make it as easy as possible for you to step aside for a while to dwell on the stories of this most significant week for Christians.  So you can come for as much or little as of the week as you like, to travel with us or to dip in for a while. 

                We are still planning the details of what this will look like so bookings are not yet open.  Please check back in later in the autumn, or watch out for news in our mailings and on social media.

                Soul Filled Meanderings

                Take a couple of hours, put on your coat and boots, to explore and experience God’s creation. This is an opportunity to stop, look and listen. Using all your senses to know and understand more about our Everlasting Father and Creator God.

                This guided walk will be led by Jo de Graaf.

                Jo lives in Harby in the beautiful Vale of Belvoir with her husband, Cor. They have five children and Jo is a very proud Oma to 10 grandchildren, who bring the family such joy. A few years ago she felt God prompting and calling her to some form of ministry. Jo believes her ministry is to bring people into God’s Kingdom through love; using contemplative spirituality, hospitality and service of all kinds to help people feel a sense of wholeness within the love of God. Not only is Jo one of our volunteer chaplains, but is now the Associate Minister in the Parish of Old Dalby, and also Lay Chair of Framland Deanery.

                This walk is planned to begin at 10:00 am. Meet at the front of the main house. Why not stay for lunch at Launde Abbey café after?

                Suitable for all abilities. Alternative activities are available if the weather is wet.

                Price: £5 per person. Places are limited to groups of 10, so please book in advance. 

                This price includes refreshments and a lovely homemade slice of cake from Launde Abbey.
