RETREATS
Day or weekend retreats, with Penelope as guide and Spiritual Director, enabling individuals and/or groups to learn to make a Retreat and to be led into time away with God. Topics and themes may be suggested.
PILGRIMAGES
A walking holiday with a difference! Maybe a Cornish walk, learning about the Celtic saints as we walk from Lands End to the Lizard. Or a beautiful hike through the hills and vineyards of Tuscany as we walk along the ancient pilgrim route of the Via Francigena. And the Cotswold Way, a demanding 100 miles of spectacular scenery, ending with a service in Bath Abbey.
Dates to suit you: invite a group of friends to come and we will lead the Pilgrimage physically and spiritually.
To book for your retreat, pilgrimage, women's day, church event, etc, please contact me with suggested dates and topics

PRaying for Penelope
Ministries by DEsign: ENCOURAGING AND BUILDING UP THE CHURCH
PLEASE pray for this next season of ministry! It may be called retirement, but I'm thinking of it more as 're-tyre-ment' and simply the next stage of the adventure of following where the Lord leads and calls.
- give thanks for past blessings and the privilege of serving
- pray for strength and health and continued enabling
- pray for new opportunities and adventures to be In His Service
- pray for A Scent of Water as it goes public on this website, to be a help to those who are grieving.
