Contemplative Prayer Group

Occuring
Monthly. Every First Monday at for 45 mins
Venue
The Den (Benefice Office)
Address
The Den (Benefice Office), The Old Vicarage St Andrew's House Church Street Cheddar, BS27 3RF

We meet on the first Monday of each month (1st Tuesday if a Bank Holiday) at 11am. We are using a pattern of prayer used by the Fellowship of Contemplative Prayer (http://www.contemplative-prayer.org.uk/). Each session begins with relaxation, followed by an introduction to the saying for the day which is a short sentence of scripture. This saying is repeated as a mantra in three sections of about 7-8 minutes: first thinking about the saying, second allowing the saying to ‘speak’ to the heart and the third in which we use the saying to pray for others. The session ends with a final prayer. There is no pressure to share anything or to pray aloud. We finish at 11.45. Everyone welcome.

Safeguarding

The parish of Cheddar is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Bath & Wells’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
