Up–coming Events
New for September 2012 – Reflection and Centring Prayer at Christ Church & St Werburgh’s
Finding  space for quietness to look after our interior lives is hard to do in the midst  of a busy city. The centring prayer groups in Christ Church Cathedral & St Werburgh’s Church are designed to give that  space using a simple method of contemplative prayer that is 1600 years  old. Starting on the 12th September, with morning and  evening sessions available, everyone is welcome to be part of this group.
