Firsty Friday is a chance for the people of Rodney Stoke & Draycott to come together and socialise. Whether you're young or old, new to the area or a long-time resident, everyone is welcome!

Bring your own drinks and snacks and join us on the first Friday of every month at 7pm in Rodney Stoke Church Hall. Entry is £2.50 to help pay for hall hire fees

We meet on the second Monday of each month 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.

Holy Communion with focus on Healing. A shortened service of Holy Communion with an opportunity to be anointed with oil for healing. During the prayers we particularly pray for those on our pew notes especially those who have asked for our prayers over a longer period whose names appear on the prayer tree. As always, if you are uncomfortable with receiving anointing or communion there is no pressure to do so.

This is a service from the Book of Common Prayer, consisting of hymns, readings, prayers and a sermon.
