Exploring my Story …

Saturday 20th November, 10am-4pm at Holland House, Cropthorne

‘Exploring my story … and God’s story’ is a day for anyone who wants to think more deeply about where God is leading them in life. All Christians are called to be faithful but this takes us each of us along a unique path, and there is a sense in which we cannot be truly content until we have discovered what God wants of us. This might be to do exactly what we’re doing now... but it might also involve something quite different. There will be time for conversation, exploration and reflection in company with others and in the beautiful surroundings of Holland House. The cost of £28 includes coffee, lunch and tea. If you’d like to step aside into this sacred space for a day, or want to ask for more details, please contact the Rural Dean, Sheila Banyard, on 01905 773134 or at sk.banyard@virgin.net
