TIME OUT WITH GOD -

Have you ever thought or indeed said 'Stop the world I want to get off'? Life is so busy these days and the time flies by and it feels we're on a non-stop merry-go-round.

Retreats are one answer to this when we can spend time out just being rather than doing.  Retreats come in all shapes and sizes and are held in Retreat Houses all over the U.K., Europe and beyond. 

Here in Jersey the Jersey Retreat Association has been organizing ecumenical retreats and quiet days since 1965.  We offer day retreats and once a year a residential retreat on or off the island.  We have in recent years been to Bethanie in Normandy, Lindisfarne in north-east England and Iona in Scotland, and welcomed Margaret Silf and Father Gerard Hughes amongst others, to Jersey.   

Our programme for 2011 includes 3 quiet days so far.  Our quiet day in April is being led by , our September residential retreat is still under discussion, and our Advent quiet day at the end of November.  So may we commend Retreats and Quiet Days to you and your friends? They are indeed a spiritual resource, nourishment that brings joy and refreshment to our spiritual life enabling us to stay calm and focused, free to accept some challenges and say no to others or in making time to relax and play.
