Come and See – Wednesday prayers

Each Wednesday, at 5.30pm BST, we invite you to ‘come and see’ more of who we are as Community. Wednesday has been a special day of prayer for us – even before we knew that we were growing a Community!

COME AND SEE WEDNESDAY PRAYERS – 12th August 5.30pm BST

EVENING PRAYER LITURGY

You can find the main part of the liturgy on our website – Go to Evening Prayer liturgy
This month’s main readings are taken from the Colman series in Celtic Daily Prayer 2. August – ‘In the World’
This month’s reading’s seek to help us push past the artificial divide between the secular and the sacred, the physical and the spiritual, the body and the soul, and move, as Barbara Brown Taylor says, towards “trusting that there is no way to God apart from real life in the real world”.
A copy of this month’s readings can be found in our shop here
