Sam, Martin, Charlotte, Sophie and Aimee are a Catholic family from Essex. Earlier this year they responded to our appeal for a family to take part in some of our programmes over the summer. Songs of Praise set them a series of challenges to explore how their Christian faith is woven into their lives. This week it's their final challenge and they go on a Christian retreat where they spend hours in silence and discover they want to make more time for prayer in their daily lives.
