Dear Friends,
The arrival of Easter and Spring is a hopeful time of year, as the days noticeably lengthen, nature emerges from the long winter sleep, and we celebrate the joy of resurrection and life. It’s a good time to count our blessings: to look back at the past with gratitude and to the present and future with holy expectations.
We’ve got so much to be grateful for here at Launde. Nine centuries of faithful prayer and hospitality; the house itself which is such a beautiful sanctuary in the midst of glorious countryside; a rich community of residents, staff, guests and visitors who make the Abbey so quietly vibrant — all these are gifts to be celebrated.
As you may be aware, we have several retreats coming up, and we would love for you to join us here. We love to see familiar faces, as well as new ones! Also, don’t forget, if you’re seeking a personal retreat, or want to create your own bespoke retreat for a group, you can stay with us for as little or as long as you like, and we would be honoured to have you with us.
A quick reminder, the deadline for the vacancy of ‘Resident Chaplain of Launde Abbey’ is approaching - Sunday 21st April. If you know someone who you think will be perfect for this role, please share this with them. And if that’s you, apply now! We look forward to receiving your applications.
With love,
The Launde Abbey Community
