Retreat in Daily Life
Have you ever wondered about going on a retreat but can’t spend the time or the money to go away? Well you don’t have to. You can take part in a retreat staying at home and carrying on your normal life – well nearly so.
These retreats are called Retreats in Daily Life. You stay at home, but for the period of the retreat put time aside for prayer and reflection. You will be helped by a guide (an ordained person from a different church to your own); so you will also need to set time aside to meet up with your guide.
Churches Together in Hawkshead are planning to run such a retreat in Spring of 2012 during the time of Lent. The suggestion is that those on retreat meet with their guides weekly from w/c 26/2 to w/c 25/3 incl. at a time and place suitable for both. The great thing about a Retreat in Daily Life is that the practicalities can be arranged to suit your timetable. There would also be a gathering of everyone sharing in the retreat the week before and the week after the retreat. The cost is minimal and usually based on the expenses needed by the guides.
This is a wonderful opportunity to help each other make space and time for God in our daily lives at a significant time in the Church’s year.
If you are at all interested in the idea please contact Pauline West on 015395 31993 or e-mail paulinewest01@talktalk.net

Satterthwaite and Rusland C of E Religious Education Fund
When Satterthwaite School closed the site was sold to Mitre Housing for affordable dwellings. The construction of these dwellings will soon be completed. Part of the proceeds of the sale of the site was used to set up a registered charity; the trustees are the vicar and churchwardens of Satterthwaite and Rusland Churches.
The charity is able to make modest grants to young people aged 19 years or under for purposes connected to Church of England religious education. Applicants (or organisations who work with this age group) should be based in Rusland, Satterthwaite, Hawkshead or Sawrey. The trustees can in appropriate cases consider organisations based in the Windermere Deanery.
The trustees take a wide view as to that which constitutes religious education and in particular encourage applications from those involved in church orientated activities such as church music, bell ringing and pupil's projects about churches and/or church activities.
