Come this Lent and lay down your ‘doing’ and your worrying, as we sit at the feet of Jesus and seek his peace and wisdom.
​
‘Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.’
Luke 10: 41-42
Our society values 'busyness' and of course there is so much that is good that we can be involved in. But Jesus teaches us about balance, about relationship and about listening, and also that our worth does not lie in how much we do. Whether you are simply desiring a quiet day with God, or perhaps coming to terms with your own level of 'busyness' changing because of health or life circumstances, this is a day for you.
'At His Feet': Called to Serve, Invited to Sit

In his famous hymn, 'Love Divine', Charles Wesley wrote the famous words: "Lost in wonder, love, and praise', speaking of our own transformation from 'glory into glory'. For many of us we see so much of wonder and God's glory in God's creation and this wholeness and wellbeing day will enable us to reconnect with the awe inspired by God's wonder filled world.
​
There will be opportunities for meditation together, individual mindful wonderings and wandering and at the heart of the day we will prepare a meal together over the fire and share it with each other.

Jesus was quick to comfort them. “Courage, it’s me. Don’t be afraid.”
Peter, suddenly bold, said, “Master, if it’s really you, call me to come to you on the water.”
He said, “Come ahead.”
Jumping out of the boat, Peter walked on the water to Jesus. But when he looked down at the waves churning beneath his feet, he lost his nerve and started to sink. He cried, “Master, save me!”
Jesus didn’t hesitate. He reached down and grabbed his hand. Then he said, “Faint-heart, what got into you?”
Matthew 14: 27-31

Though storms rage outside of our control, there is an invitation to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus through the wind and waves. Here is a day to seek peace in the midst of storms and refocus our faith and our vision on Him.​
