Come and be bathed in healing sound by Angela Cooper. Immerse yourself in the healing sound vibrations of crystal and Tibetan singing bowls. Enjoy this unique experience to relax your body and mind, lift your spirits and recharge your energy centres. Please bring whatever you will need to be comfortable lying down on the floor – e.g. yoga mat, cushion, blanket. All welcome.
Sunday 3rd April 10.30 – 11.30 pm: Sunday Gathering – Online Only
This service, led by Tom Grimshaw, is called ‘Wilderness Wanderings’. This season of Lent provides us with opportunities to ponder on the shadow of life, when we must deal with failure, disappointment, pain and purposelessness. There will be no glib answers provided but we will hear a short collection of readings, which may guide our thoughts and prompt us to recall our memories of times both good and bad, and reflect upon them.
‘It is always hard to see the purpose in wilderness wanderings until they are over’ – John Bunyan
‘For any shadow to exist, somewhere there must be a source of light even if you cannot see it’ – Wayside Pulpit
All welcome.
