A new website offers specially designed retreats, quiet days (some especially for churchwardens), pilgrimage walks (and cycle rides thanks to our Rector), talks, online accompanied prayer weeks, courses and a special summer Cathedral celebration. Also included are resources for prayer as well as guidance and encouragement to help you care for your own wellbeing.Do take a look at the website. You can book events directly yourself, but if there’s something that takes your fancy and you’d like company, let us know and we’ll see if others wish to join in. The website address is: year.stalbansdiocese.org

Each day has set readings from the Old and New Testament. The readings are available in a book, via email or on the app. Every month there will be a get-together to discuss what we’ve been reading. To register your interest or for more information, email Christie: Rev.christiegilfeather@gmail.com
