This rich and deeply enriching service is currently available live online via our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/boxriverbenefice
This service, sometimes also called Mass or Holy Communion, is the staple bedrock of the church. It is deeply evocative, and draws all present into the sublime mystery of the Lord's Supper. We explore scripture, pray and are caught up in the power of the ritual together, as one body. As we gather around God's Table and hear Christ's words to 'Do this is remembrance of me', we are drawn into a mystery of timeless truth and united with each other in a deeply spiritual way. As we kneel before the Holy Altar we do so with others of all ages, social situations, races, sexualities and nationalities. And we realise that we are all equal before the eyes of our Creator God. This is community as it was designed to be. All are welcome at this service, old and young.

This rich and evocative service includes daily psalms, readings and a chance to spend a few minutes in silent meditation which has been a staple and essential part of regular spiritual discipline since the time of Jesus and before. To be a true disciple we must be willing to look inside of ourselves and let God speak through the silence into the centre of our hearts.

This year we are going to be exploring the insights of Julian of Norwich through the inspiring book; 'The Way of Julian of Norwich' by Sheila Upjohn.
Julian of Norwich was a medieval hermit who suffered from terrible illness. It was during one of these bouts, unable to leave her home, she was treated to visions of the loving nature of God. She recorded these in her book 'Revelations of Divine Love'.
In order to prepare for the course you will need to purchase the book, which is available from Amazon in hard copy and Kindle version here: The Way of Julian of Norwich: A Prayer Journey Through Lent: Amazon.co.uk: Sheila Upjohn: 9780281083696: Books

This service, at a slightly earlier time than usual and is designed to be more accessible to families as well as other demographics in our villages. Whilst this is designed to be more engaging and informative to younger demographics and newcomers to church, it is no less deep and will have plenty to keep the longstanding church member fed.
Come along and join us.

These weekly liturgy services are the base of Lenten building running up to Holy week. The 1st Sunday of Lent will be focusing on how Jesus shows us the importance of prayer and fasting against temptations of the devil. The 2nd Sunday of Lent we will be giving thanks to Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God through Christ our Lord. The 3rd Sunday of Lent will be our Homily, and finally the 4th Sunday of Lent - Mothering Sunday (Laetare).
