Summer Gathering
22-25 August 2025
The theme for this year’s summer gathering is taken from the gift left for us by Pope Francis for this Jubilee year, Pilgrims of Hope. We will be exploring how we can become pilgrims in hope with particular input from the Lay Community's Caring for Creation team, along with Lucy Marfleet and Amy Robinson, who are providing a variety of input for all ages. Please see the list of highlights below and do look at the timetable to see everything on offer.
​
If you are not a Community member, you are very welcome! Please do contact Sharon, the administrator, if you've any queries: admin@lcsb.uk. If you are not able to attend the whole weekend, the Saturday is targeted at activities and input for all.

Weekend highlights
Friday bedtime storytelling
Enjoy some traditional tales performed by Amy.
Timeline people creative workshop
Before we attempt a challenge to cover the story of the whole Bible in one hour, we'd love people of all ages to take the opportunity to decorate and prepare one of the paper people to go on the timeline.
Bible in 60 minutes
Is it possible to tell the big story of the Bible in only 60 minutes? What about if lots of people of all ages and abilities share the job and take part with short scripts? This innovative project will give everyone the chance to participate.
Reading the Psalms as poetry
Come along to this workshop to find out how- no previous poetical expertise required!
Storytelling for all ages
Join in with telling some more stories, and find out some of the secrets and techniques of storytelling.
Engaging the senses and engaging everyone
Lucy will run this workshop for anyone keen to consider how we engage our senses when thinking about stories in the Bible.
