Wednesday — 10:00am
A quiet, traditional, said service with no music or hymns.

Meditation
Thursday — 8:00am
Following the teaching and practice of John Main – now recognised as one of the great spiritual teachers of the 20th century – a small group currently meets at 8:00am each Thursday for 30 minutes of silent meditation.
“The important aim in Christian meditation is to allow God’s mysterious and silent presence within us to become more and more, not only a reality, but the reality that gives meaning, shape and purpose to everything we do, everything we are.”
After the meditation we listen to some words on the theme of the practice and experience of meditation, followed by a short discussion and a sharing of thoughts and questions.
After the discussion we finish with morning prayer.
Length:
Meditation ~30 minutes.
Reading and discussion ~30 minutes.
Morning prayer ~15 minutes.
