Church Weekend Away

Our church had our biannual weekend away in Kent which is in South East England. This is a retreat type place called The Friars where the buildings are from the 13th century. This is the dining hall.

We took a long walk on Saturday afternoon in between sessions. The sessions were led by Dave Nussbaum who used to be a member of our church and is presently the Chief Executive of WWF (World Wildlife Fund) He has worked with many charities and has a theology degree from Cambridge. His emphasis was titled "One World, One God". We explored through the bible different areas that refer to the relationship between nature and humans. That puts it into very simple terms but it was a very good weekend. We had a good amount of free time so there was lots of visiting, game playing and strolling around the grounds.

On our hike we came into a large area of wild blue bells.
