Midweek communion in North Chapel
This Lent course is being hosted by St Mary's. This is open to the rest of the Team and ecumenically within Saffron Walden.
Being a faithful Christian in a diverse Church during changing and challenging times is not easy. The temptation is to withdraw into a "holy huddle", pull up the drawbridge, and turn our backs on the world outside. Through a series of reflections, using Lectio Divina, we will be considering how we might better be the people of God together and live out our faith. This course is taken from the Chelmsford Diocesan resources for "Travelling Well Together" and comes with Bishop Guli's recommendation.

Midweek communion in North Chapel
A time of Silent Prayer at 10am on the first Thursday of each month. This takes place in the North Chapel and starts with a short reading and stilling exercise, followed by 20 minutes of silence and concluding with the Lord’s Prayer.
A more informal celebration of Holy Communion, giving us a chance to try new things. During this time our children’s group, Team JC, meets nearby in the Parish Rooms and joins us just before we receive communion. The service lasts about an hour and a quarter and refreshments are served.
Please join us for this special choral service to dedicate ourselves and our new lighting to God, to see it fully in use, and to give thanks for the huge number of people who have helped in so many ways to bring the project to fruition – regulatory bodies, designers, contractors, grant-givers, and all of you who have supported the work with your practical help, your donations, your suggestions, and most importantly your prayers. The service will include the first full performance of Three Spark Motets, with music composed by Brian Moles to words by Paula Griffiths in memory of Chris Ferland, together with well-known hymns and Bible readings on the theme of Light.
Followed by refreshments and a demonstration of the lighting. Everyone welcome.
