Contemplation: A Gentle Journey of Prayers and Reflections
A Gentle Journey isn’t a service – it’s a selection of prayers and reflections accompanied by restful music and tranquil images. Lasting just over 15 minutes, we hope that you will find peace and relaxation, comfort and inspiration – a time of quiet contemplation as you listen to these words of praise.
Schedule of September services
From September, services will resume in our Churches but we hope to make available each week a recording of one of the services from around the Benefice. You can find details of the services here.
