There have been regular times of shared silence and times for contemplative prayer in our Church before the period of 'lockdown': Quiet Days once a month on a Saturday and A Quiet Place in the Eye of the Storm on a Thursday evening.

During the coming weeks and months we have decided to set aside some times in our own homes when we will share half an hour of prayer or contemplation twice a week.
These are:
12.00noon to 12.30pm on a Monday
5.00pm to 5.30pm on a Thursday
5.00pm to 5.30pm on a Thursday
On the Monday we use a passage from the Bible, usually the Gospel for the coming Sunday.
On the Thursday we take it in turns to offer a focus for prayer, often a poem, picture or piece of music.
These are suggestion for the use of the time. You can join with whatever form of prayer you choose.
The time on Thursday can be followed by joining an office of Evening Prayer according to your own custom, from 5.30pm.
We will usually post resources we are sharing on this site, but please do contact us at rector@holyinnocentsff.org if you would like more information, or to be added to the church mailing list, or to make suggestions.
