The Easter Story told in Ten Great Hymns:

A gentle contemplative-led retreat

You are invited to join us at Ammerdown as we look afresh at the meaning and significance of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection through the lens of a dozen cherished hymns. With their unique melody and message, each Christian song of worship invites us into a deeper understanding and celebration of the Easter story.

This exciting spiritual programme balances times of guided spiritual reflection with space to reflect, pray, read or write – or simply to unwind, refresh and feel renewed as you experience the tranquillity of Ammerdown’s beautiful peace garden and labyrinth, relax outdoors, and walk through the woods.

Led by Rupert Kaye, Ammerdown’s Chaplain, we will consider why Christians believe the death and resurrection of Jesus is more than the ultimate plot twist. It represents a pivotal turning point in human history. Just when it seemed that all was lost … as the promised King had been publicly humiliated, crucified to death and his lifeless body laid to rest in a tomb … God raised Jesus back to life, proving three things:

• Jesus really is the long-promised Messiah
• The grave is not the final chapter in a human life
• No matter how hard and hopeless things seem, there is always hope

Come along to discover how, because of Jesus’ resurrection, each and every one of us can live a life that is: forgiven, purposeful, powerful and eternal.

Please bring:

Clothing and footwear that will be comfortable and suitable for the garden and any walking you may want to do in your free time.

A journal and something to write with (optional).
