Ely 36 took us to a new venue: the retreat house at Pleshey, near Chelmsford.

It took us a little time to find our way around...

... but we felt at home very quickly.

Chelmsford Cursillo gave us a fantastic welcome, and went to a huge amount of trouble setting things up for us.

A lively and open-minded group of pilgrims joined an enthusiastic staff team.

There were talks...

... discussions...

... quiet reflection...

... and of course, cake.
In spite of the challenges posed by the Covid pandemic, the closure of Bishop Woodford House, and a new format, Ely 36 proved to be a time of great blessing.
The Welcome Back Ultreya will be a chance for everyone - those who attended Ely 36 Cursillo and those who didn't - to come together to share worship and fellowship. That will take place in Kimbolton on 15 January. Keep an eye on our Events page.
In the meantime, you can join us online for the last Refugio of 2021 on Saturday 18 December.
