Spiritual Adventure Day - Sharing our Spiritual Experiences

9:00am - 5:00pm, SATURDAY 10TH APRIL 2010
GLENFALL HOUSE, MILL LANE, CHELTENHAM GL54 4EP

The theme for the day (Sharing our Spiritual Experiences) has been taken from the Framework for Action - the priorities agreed for the Religious Society of Friends for 2009-2014 by Meeting for Sufferings. The first priority is strengthening the spiritual roots in our meetings and in ourselves.

Nestling in quiet wooded hillside near Cheltenham, Glenfall House provides a secluded, peaceful retreat for those in need of relaxation and refreshment. The house extends a warm welcome to groups and organisations of all Christian denominations wishing to benefit from its calm, serene atmosphere.

You will be able to choose one of the morning activities, and another one in the afternoon. These group sessions will be preparing us for the closing Meeting for Worship, with more active things in the morning and slightly quieter, more reflective things in the afternoon. There is also the option for personal quiet time. If you have any queries about any of the activities please contact the facilitator (through the webmaster). Numbers of participants on most of the sessions are limited. When allocating places, we will give priority to forms received early, so to ensure that you are not disappointed, please return your application form and fee as soon as possible.
The application form was distributed with the February Cheltenham Quaker newsletter, and is also available through the link below as a PDF file. Depending on how you have set your web browser and PDF reader preferences, clicking on the link should either display the file, or download it to your own machine. Some browsers allow this choice through a pop-up menu, accessed using click-and-hold, right-click, or control-click. If you don’t already have the appropriate software for reading PDF files, you can download a free copy from the Adobe website.
Click here for the application form (PDF). Sorry, we’re not set up for online form-filling just yet, so you’ll have to print it out and fill it in the old-fashioned way, then pass it to the Treasurer.
