The wet summer failed to spoil the retreat that the Middlesbrough Team* enjoyed at Hornsea recently.
Our theme was ‘Listening-Praying-Responding’ and during the weekend, each couple and our chaplain, Andrew Burns, took a turn at leading a session. Consequently, activities were as many and various as quiet personal prayer, reflection on poetry and prose, making a collage altar cloth and the illustration of our relationship with God using magic tricks! We even managed walks on the beach despite the weather.
The weekend was punctuated by good food and drink and brought to a close with Mass which we shared with our hosts, the Sisters of Mercy.
A ‘do-it-yourself’ retreat is to be recommended!
