Days we can do

We have several days that are available "off-the-peg":

Using "Children's" Stories

  • Life's Little Obstacles - using Michael Rosen's "We're Going on a Bear-Hunt" as our starting point
  • Different Voices - Different Visions - using Dyan Sheldon's "The Whales' Song"
  • Finding Treasure - using "Gilbert's Birthday" - a story by Kathryn

Days of Discernment

These are days for people who may be planning to come into the Church - or are returning - or people who just wish to look more deeply at what being a Christian - a Catholic - means.

  • The Journey - using the image of a journey to look at where we have been in our lives -and where we hope to be going!
  • Reclaiming Baptism - a Day centred around the symbols used in Baptism - reflecting on their deeper meanings

Lent Days - or any other time of the year really!

  • Showing the Way - the companion day to the project. This day also uses Gilbert (see above!)
  • Two Big Questions - and an Invitation... - like it says!

General Days

  • Introduction to Prayer - a quick look at various forms of prayer! Which forms you'd like to look at depends on you - but could include: centring prayer - Taizé prayer(not just in churches) - imaginative prayer - praying with the senses - praying with clay & art - use of symbol in prayer - need we go on??
  • The Mystic Rose Garden - in fact,  a series of days using the Rosary as a starting-point. Using pictures, Scripture, imaginative contemplation, individual and group prayer, we "stroll" around the Mystical Rose Garden and enter more deeply into the mysteries it contains.
  • Finding God in Fun - workshops for families culminating in an act of worship. We have the materials - but you'll need to supply the extra pairs of hands for this one!
  • Waiting in Joyful Hope - originally intended as an Advent Day - but lends itself to any day reflecting on the hopes and yearnings that people experience and long to see fulfilled...

Workshops for Group Leaders

  • General Introduction to Preparing - Leading - and Resources for Small-group Prayer.
    What a mouthful! Basically - how to lead small groups in worship and discussion in a sitting-room - or church-hall if necessary. (That wasn't much of an improvement really was it?)
  • As above but focusing on
    • Advent/ Christmas/ Epiphany/ Candlemas
    • Lent/ Easter/ Pentecost
    • Ordinary Time

None of the Above?

We can create a day that's tailor-made for you -
Get in touch with us - and we'll see what we can do!
(I didn't intend that to be a rhyming slogan type thing - it just happened...)
