 Our annual event for the Church Family

ST MARY'S AND SALE WEST HOUSEPARTY
AT THE QUINTA CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE CENTRE, OSWESTRY
FRIDAY 20th JUNE - SUNDAY 22nd JUNE

The Quinta is located on the Welsh border near Oswestry, and offers an opportunity to get away, enjoy nature, and grow as a Church family.

We will worship together,
learn together, relax together
and have some fun

Speakers
The talks this year will be led by Steve and Outi Rankin.

Subject
The talks will focus on Ignatian Spirituality.

Ignatian Spirituality is deeply rooted in becoming more aware of what is happening in our daily experience - finding God in all things.

Ignatian Spirituality can help us become more aware of God's presence in our lives and more attentive to His desires rather than our own. This "pathway to God" has endured over the centuries not as a particular prayer style so much as a way of reflecting on our own life

That is, our senses, feelings, even our deepest desires become privileged places to discover God's dynamic presence leading us - to become whole, to become our authentic "true" self, in short, to grow in relationship to ourselves, God and our community.

The Spirit that totally animated Jesus' life is available to all who would open their lives to receive. How? By "taking a long, loving look" at Jesus' life and His particular way of being in the world, God reveals to us mysteries of who we are as human beings as well.
