Our congregation offers a number of study and reflection opportunities each year.   

This autumn, our book group is starting up again this time reading Walking the Story by Jane Leach about one author's experience walking the pilgrim journey of Santiago de Compostela. The book group meets fortnightly on Thursdays at 7:30 beginning 2 October at the MUC Upper Room.

We will also have a day of prayer and reflection at Carbery Towers on 1st November led by specialists in Ignatian Spirituality. 

In the last year, we have had a book group meet regularly for lively discussion and a lenten study on the environemnt and the care of God's creation.

In the past we have had study days at Carbery Towers sharing in a retreat on the work of George Herbert and John Donne, and on the images and music of Advent; our book group has met to read some christian mysticism, and we have looked at the power and effectiveness of language with one of our members - a professional linguist - who is involved in codifying languages in Indonesia, Africa, etc.

Another part of this programme consists of church trips.  As well as our annual church holiday in France, visits can be much closer at hand. 

This year's trip to France is to the Loire Valley and takes place in September.
