This is our main service each Sunday. Normally a traditional Eucharist with sermon. Always a warm welcome.
During this introduction to contemplative prayer, we will explore Centering Prayer as well as the Ignatian method of using our imagination to draw us deeper into Biblical stories.
Centering Prayer is a simple method that helps us welcome God's presence into our inner being as we pray. It involves sitting quietly, perhaps using a "sacred word", image or our breath to gently let go of distracting thoughts when they come, thus opening ourselves again to God’s presence.
The Ignatian method of imaginative prayer helps us enter a Gospel scene using all five senses. By visualizing the setting, hearing, smelling, and touching, we engage with Jesus personally, allowing the scene to unfold in the imagination to foster a deeper, intimate relationship with God.
All are welcome, and light refreshments will be provided.

Our Prayer Shawl Ministry group meets again in Hürtgenwald on Saturday 21 March from 10am to 4pm.
This powerful ecumenical ministry and spiritual practice reaches out to those in need of comfort and solace, as well as in celebration and joy.
Prayer shawl ministry groups can be found all over the world. They knit or crochet shawls to console those who are grieving, comfort those who are ill, and bring hope to those in despair. Shawls may also be made to celebrate life and its milestones.
Many blessings are prayed into every stitch.
Please pray for our knitters and their work, and the people who will receive the gifts of this ministry of compassion.
