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.
If you have someone you would like our Virtual Congregation to include in their private prayers during the coming week, please email virtualvicar@3churches.uk by Friday of each week. Their name will then be shown here for the coming week.
