Beside Still Waters

(A Retreat for Church Leaders)

 

Led by Sister Jean Frances

 

Monday 18th August 2008

Friday 22nd August 2008

 

Beside Still Waters will start with dinner at 6.30pm on Monday 18th August
2008 and end after breakfast on Friday 22nd August 2008. 

 

On each day of the retreat there will be three sessions led by Sister Jean
Frances of the Community of St. Mary the Virgin, Wantage.

 

Each morning there will be a meditation intended to provide a jumping off
place for each retreatant on their individual prayer journey.  Each
afternoon there will be a prayer workshop in two parts.  These sessions will
provide an opportunity to try out different ways of praying.  Whether you
are a beginner or more experienced you will be able to make use of the
material offered.
