Saturday 8th August Hour of Prayer
11.00 – 12 noon at St Mary’s Parish Church
Barbara Chambers will be leading an hour of prayer following the Fellowship of Contemplative Prayer pattern. It involves taking a close look at a passage of scripture and times of silence and contemplation. We hope that it will be a refreshing time of encouragement and spiritual strengthening.
