Would you like to join the Launde Abbey Community in our Chapel to observe Ash Wednesday? This day of reflection marks the beginning of Lent, inviting us into a time of prayer, self-reflection, repentance and renewal.
As Lent invites us into a time of reflection, take a couple of hours to step outside, put on your coat and boots, and meander through God’s creation. This is an opportunity to pause, notice, and listen—to slow down and be present. As you walk, take time to reflect on the season of Lent, a journey of preparation, renewal, and drawing closer to God. Using all your senses, be open to what He might be saying through the beauty and stillness around you. We will also attend midday prayer with the Launde community in the Augustine Chapel. This price includes a wonderful soup lunch and roll in the Dairy Tea Room café.
