This year we celebrated our harvest festival with a ceilidh in the parish hall. Young and old alike from the parish came together for an evening of food, dancing and fun.

 

Parish Quiet day October 2011

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On October 8th a group of 11 people from Wilmslow Parish and 6 from St Agnes participated in our annual Quiet Day at Foxhill, Chester Diocese’s Conference Centre.

 

The theme of the day was ‘Connecting with the Creativity of God’. Fr. Stephen from St Agnes led opening worship with some beautiful images, concentrating on our senses. The rest of the day consisted of two exercises led by Magdalen. People created a simple picture using masking tape, gel pens, and chalks and then wrote a poem or prayer whilst looking at the patterns within their piece of art.

 

The second exercise centred around the idea of how we ‘make our mark in life’ and people created their own piece of art using a variety of materials including paint, string and corks. The day finished with a Eucharist in the chapel. People were free to opt out of all the activities if they wished, wander in the stunning arboretum at Foxhill and look at 10 different images on creativity that had been set up in the chapel.

 

We run the Quiet Day annually in October.
