If you enjoy walking and want to practice Christian meditation/contemplation, this weekend is for you!

During this week we will be inviting each other to go on a dig to unearth and share treasures of scripture, stories, perennial wisdom, film, music, art and life experiences which have impacted, transformed, affected or even just slightly shifted the lens so as to influence and modify how we see.

“I have come so that you may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10: 10). This pandemic year has propelled thinking about positive mental health and wellbeing to the forefront for the majority of the population. But what does this concept mean when applied to our faith and spiritual life?

In today’s intolerant world, we Christians often pride ourselves on how unprejudiced and welcoming we are. We claim to celebrate diversity. We decide that we are all the same underneath, and get on with it. But how often do we truly try to understand the “other”?

We have booked Kintbury for a camping reunion week in August 2021 (restrictions permitting). Please note that this will not be a week with structured content. The week is a chance for members and families to get together in the beautiful surroundings of Kintbury. No doubt spontaneous prayer, music and singing will take place!

“I have come so that you may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10: 10). This pandemic year has propelled thinking about positive mental health and wellbeing to the forefront for the majority of the population. But what does this concept mean when applied to our faith and spiritual life? Using the model “Five Ways to Wellbeing” (New Economics Foundation, 2008) as our framework, we shall be thinking about wellbeing and faith. As we start to leave “lockdown” we will hopefully find some strategies to help us start to “live life to full” once again.

This summer you can enjoy the CPW experience from the comfort of your own home. Our very first Virtual Summer Week will run from Saturday 8th August until Saturday 15th August. The event is free to attend and all our welcome. A full agenda is available here. We do hope you can join us.

As parents, we too have great power and, consequently, great responsibility for our children’s future. We invite you to join us in sharing your own parenting experiences, successes and challenges. No one has all the answers but through talking, praying, singing and creating together we might just find some solutions.

The Eucharist is the 'source and summit' of our faith. Engaging our heads, hearts and hands, and hearing from speakers and Church teaching, together we will spend the week exploring what it means to live eucharistically.

The celebrations of Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter are at heart of the mystery of our faith. On our Easter CPW we invite you to celebrate these Great Three Days by living, learning and worshipping in community.

On this long weekend we will take time out from day to day life to enjoy exercise, nature, meditation and socialising - to rest in the Spirit and fill our cups for the long term happiness of ourselves and others.

On this all-age summer week we shall consider ‘Catholic guilt’ in true CPW style: taking both serious and light hearted looks at how it helps and/or hinders our ability to live fully Christian lives. 

In this summer week for all-ages we will revisit the gifts of the Spirit, examining how we can call on them to give us strength, conviction and courage in our daily lives and in tackling the big issues in the wider world.
