Meditative Services

These services bring together meditation and the sacrament of Holy Communion. They combine silence, incense, and a rich mixture of traditional and modern words and music, including chants from Taize and words and songs from Iona. We hope that people will find the space here to encounter the Spirit of God.

These services are normally at 5.00 pm on Sundays.

Guided Meditation

An introduction to Christian mindfulness for those who wish to explore silent prayer. It is easier to learn to meditate in the company of others, and we invite you to come and join us. All meditation involves learning to still the chatter of the mind, but Christian mediation has a particular emphasis on the positive experience of the Spirit of God at a deeper level than is normally possible.

The session begins with an introduction, that both offers a specific theme for meditation and, over the weeks, provides basic guidance in the technique of meditation. Then we go into silence by lighting a candle, burning incense, and singing a chant. The silence lasts about 20 minutes; then there is time in which people can share with the group any issues they wish. The session ends with brief prayers.

Guided meditation is normally at 5.30 pm on Fridays.

The Goth Eucharist

This is an exciting monthly service which seeks to find new ways of making the life of the Church meaningful to people from alternative, and particularly Goth communities.There is a detailed article, explaining the background and philosophy of the Goth Eucharist available here.
