November Quiet Day: ‘Choosing the One Thing that Matters’
£46
Monday 23rd November @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
By 23rd November, there will be less than 5 weeks until Christmas and, no doubt, the pace of life will have already picked up for many of us; but whatever the time of year, we can feel pulled in a dozen directions, busy with good and necessary things.
In the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10 v 38-42), we are invited to reflect on the tensions many of us feel between ‘doing’ and ‘being’, between prayer and action, between the demands of life and call of devotion to Christ.
On this Quiet day, we will give ourselves space and permission to explore those tensions in our lives, not with any sense of condemnation but taking the opportunity to be renewed, refreshed and reorientated in the Presence of God.
Our aim will be to allow God to reestablish a rhythm of grace that ensures our good work and service are nourished through a rediscovery of the One Thing that really matters.
