"What a lovely start to a Friday morning”.
“Breathing Space” is a new monthly gathering offering a gentle space for contemplative, silent prayer. Rooted in an ancient Christian tradition, this practice invites us to become attentive to the loving presence of God within us and around us, offering moments of stillness and peace in our often noisy and distracted lives.
Each gathering will begin with a short, reflective reading, leading into around 20 minutes of shared silence. During this time, you may follow your breath or quietly recite a simple prayer word to help still the mind and open the heart. We will then finish with 5–10 minutes of relaxed conversation, sharing reflections on the practice if you wish.
Breathing Space is open to all who are seeking peace, and who long for a deeper connection with God and with others.
The gathering will be held in the vestry. Please enter the church through the back door in the car park. You don’t have to come every time, just come when you can. If you want to know more please speak to Fran.
We will next gather in the vestry on Friday 17th April, 15th May &
19th June at 10am - 10.45am.
Breathing Space will take place on the 3rd Friday of each month.
