Silent Prayer Together - http://www.stmarydehaura.org.uk/church-life/julian-meetings/

Contemplative prayer has been part of the Christian tradition since earliest times. In the medieval period it became mostly associated with monasticism, but in the 20th century it was reclaimed as a normal part of many people’s spiritual journey. The Julian Meetings is a network of groups to foster contemplative prayer in the Christian tradition. In contemplation we just ‘are’ before God with the four ‘S’s: Stillness, Silence, Simplicity, Surrender.

Come along to meet the band at St Mary's main door, just before 7.30pm (although there is no ringing in Holy Week).

Bell's are rung before the 10am Sunday service, on special personal occasions (such as weddings & baptisms) and, of course, on national moments such as Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee & King Charles' recent Coronation. The band at St Mary's is a lovely group; a mix of men & women, and is not limited to those that worship at St Mary's. Access to the Ringing Room is via a stone, spiral-staircase in the church tower.

All worship is as a family, even if perhaps it is via an online service or across the different venues. However, there is are special services where we can all be together and worship from within the same space.
Our youngest are eager to get involved and often help with the reading & the discussion after it; they often lead our prayers a little later in the service.
Even if you or you're young one isn't Baptised, please do feel free to approach and receive a Blessing or if you prefer use the moments of the Eucharist to stay seated and reflect or pray that is fine too. Quite often our choir will be singing and they sing beautifully, so simply rest in the moment and listen.
