"Be still and know that I am God" Psalm 46v10 (NIV)

In our Contemplative Prayer Group, we take time out to wait on God in silent prayer, so we can listen to Him and come to know Him, rather than just know about Him.

These silent times of reflection give us an inner strength and conviction to draw on in our day-to-day lives, and are suitable for everyone, no matter where they are on their Christian journey.

This group is for anyone who wants to find a spirituality that makes sense of their life.

In the silence, as we allow God's life-giving word to saturate our hearts, minds and will, we become aware that God is already with us and are more able to allow Him to work in, and through, us.

As we focus our prayer on one passage of scripture from the Bible, we are able to let the transforming truth take over that God is in charge, and find Him in the very ground of our being.

We meet on the first Tuesday of every month at 7.30 pm and spend one hour in prayer, followed by a time for tea, coffee and fellowship.

You are more than welcome to join us and, if you would like more details, why not email or call us.

We are affiliated to The Fellowship of Contemplative Prayer.

Contemplative Word for the Month

"Know that I am with you always yes, to the end of time"
(Matthew .28.20JB)

These are wonderfully reassuring words to use in contemplation and to live every moment of every day. They come in the final verse of Matthew’s Gospel, just after Jesus has given his followers the Great Commission to share God’s life in all its fullness in the way he himself has taught and shown them.  It’s a task we can only fulfil if God’s own presence and grace is at work in us. This month the Church’s calendar takes us first to Ascension Day, then Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Spirit, and on to Trinity Sunday, Father, Son and Holy Spirit among us as Life-giver, Pain-bearer, Love-maker.
