Hospitality: gracious presence; gracious gift; gracious promise

  • The House of Prayer 35 Seymour Road East Molesey United Kingdom (map)

Led by Sr Rachel Overton

During the day we will reflect on what it might mean for hospitality to become a ‘posture’ that we assume in life - both in our relationships with others and with God - rather than being simply something we ‘do’.

I will offer some reflections, bible readings, music and space for personal prayer. We will also use the icon of the Holy Trinity (Rublev) to help focus our thoughts and exploration of how we experience and receive the hospitality of God.

Starts at 10am and ends at 4pm. Please bring a packed lunch.

Cost: £30
