THE LEPROSY MISSION'S
OASIS DAYS
What is an oasis? One meaning is 'an area or period of calm in the midst of a difficult or hectic place or situation'. That is what these days aim to be in the midst of the busyness of city life.
The Leprosy Mission's 'Oasis Days' offer quiet reflection for people who need a day to re-charge their spiritual batteries and enjoy the stimulation of an excellent speaker. These popular days on spirituality are held in Christ Church, Southwark, on the second Tuesday of each month and the occasional Saturday. Those leading are from across the denominational spectrum. For catering purposes
you must pre-book by calling Martin on 01895 822863 or send him an email.
