Some of the men in the church went off for a "Quiet Day" in the Mournes on Saturday. We arrived down at the home of Ken and Eva Needham in the heart of the Mourne Mountains who facilitate such events.


After coffee they led us through some reflective exercises and some thoughts from Judges chapter 6. We then retired to various spots around the house and garden for our own private times of reflection and prayer. Beautifully quiet and calm up here and we all felt the benefit of this time out.
They then provided lunch for us and we headed up into the hills for a walk. It was pretty misty on Saturday and we didn't walk too far but it was good to get out in the air, and the craic was good!








We arrived back to the Needham's place later in the afternoon for coffee and then we headed home, stopping at "Rick's" in Carryduff for a meal.
