Every year, Grace goes away for the weekend.  It’s partly social, a chance to be together without the pressure of service planning, it’s also a chance for us to reflect on the past year, to think about the things we like, the things we might want to change and the new things we might want to do.  Normally we camp (Grace is the only reason I own a tent!), this year we had a house…

The use of the house was a huge blessing for us, the members of the community that don’t or won’t camp were able to be there and having a kitchen meant that we were able to eat communally (we have some pretty amazing cooks in Grace, so we ate really well!).

I’ve come back physically tired but emotionally refreshed….and we got to go to the seaside, which always makes me happy…
