Cost £45 (to include lunch and refreshments)A season of great anticipation and expectation. A season at the end of another year spent. A season of hope, love, joy and peace.
As we come together for the day, we will touch on these elements of advent and prepare ourselves for the forthcoming celebration of Jesus’ birth.
We will turn our thoughts and eyes to Jesus and consider where our eyes and heart have been throughout this passing year. We will rest, wait and refresh as we enter this time of ADVENTure with Jesus.
“In this day, this season, miracles will grow within, unfurl, bear fruit. And the heart that makes time and space for Him to come will be a glorious place. A place of sheer, radiant defiance in the face of a world careening mad and stressed. Because each day of Advent, we will actively wait. We will wait knowing that the remaking of everything has already begun.”
Ann Voskamp, The Greatest Gift

Leader: Reverend Vanessa Appleton
Since being ordained, I have served in the church and as a chaplain in the Police Force, the HM Prison Service and the National Health Service. I understand the importance, need and joy in spending time with God, which has led me to facilitate quiet days to gently guide people into the space and presence of God to receive His rest, refreshment and peace.
I have a very compassionate heart, blessed with the gift of creativity and a passion for connecting with nature which is echoed in the quiet days that I lead.
(Vanessa also heads up the team of volunteer Day Chaplains that we have at St Katharine’s Retreat House.)
