I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may grasp how wide and deep...is the love of Christ. (Ephesians 3:17-18)

Join Sandra Rogers and Revd. Margaret Robinson as we take time out and spend time in prayer. Find strength by exploring Jesus' love for us, in our everyday lives.

We will introduce different ways of praying with passages from the Bible. This will include praying with pictures/colouring/drawing, if you would like to.

There will be times when we will guide you in prayer as a group, and times to reflect on some prayer activities we will give you, on your own, in a time of silence.

Tea and coffee will be provided.

To book a place, please email Sandra Rogers at [email protected] or speak to Margaret Robinson or Sandra at church.
