Summer Newsletter 2026

Dear friends,
The farmers have been busy here harvesting and bailing. Of course they had to sow seeds first before they could gather in any crops.
It is about a year now since we began sowing seeds in offering retreats at Grove Barns. It has been good to reflect on all of God’s work in the beautiful place and how those seeds have borne fruit in the many people we have been blessed to meet and serve during that time. We thank you for your support.
Truly in giving, we receive.

Please find below our Autumn Retreat Programme. We hope you find something of interest and look forward to welcoming you back to Grove Barns.

New Programme of Retreats
October – November 2026

We have now put together our new programme of retreats for the Autumn.
Please click here

Our morning or afternoon retreats are led by the Sisters on various biblical and spiritual themes. The retreats provide an opportunity to listen to short addresses by the Sisters and enjoy some quiet reflective space in between where you can find a place to sit in the house or garden. Each retreat concludes with a short time of worship. Places are limited so please book in advance.

Healing Service – Sunday 6th September

Please do come and join us at this service at Ranworth Church in September. Please come and pray with us, and receive prayers for healing for yourself or others you know. It will be a gentle service with music, prayers, some words by Bishop Ian and an opportunity to light candles and receive a blessing with oil.
Please pray for us as we minister, if you’re unable to come then please pray at home.

Advent

In October we will be sending out details of our Advent Programme which will include half day led Retreats and Advent Quiet Days.
Please look out for our next newsletter!

Keeping you in our prayers.
With every blessing,
Sisters Elizabeth Pio, Heidi Marie
and Leila 🐾
