Making Sense of Our Lives (Quiet Day)

A quiet day where we explore how we use and react with the five senses: seeing, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. How does God use them to reveal Himself to us? We will share our experiences through music, memories, reflection, maybe tears but definitely laughter too. We will be thinking how we can use our senses to help us to value each day and find peace in our busy lives.
