Exploring God’s Nature

20–24 May 2024 (Mon–Fri)

From stunning coastal views to fragile spring flowers, babbling brooks to crashing waves, God’s fingerprints are all over the Lee Abbey estate. Join us as we seek to draw near to God, exploring and engaging with the wonders of creation. We will spend time outside each day, responding individually and together by engaging in art, craft, song, photography, dance and poetry. Please bring suitable outdoor footwear (wellies recommended!) and clothing. Please also let us know when booking of any mobility issues you have as this will help us to make activities accessible for you.
