WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP DESIGN AND HOST A CREATIVE ARTS EVENING? Selina is planning to develop a regular Creative Arts Prayer Evening at St John’s once a month from 7.30 - 8.30pm on a Friday night. The three Friday dates for meeting together to explore and develop this new service are May 24th, June 21st and July 19th in St John’s hall and church. “The service will have a ‘bring and share’ feel and will offer a safe space to explore prayer together creatively using music, art, poetry, storytelling, testimony, candles, night prayer, lectio divina and healing prayer. It will be open to people wanting to deepen their Christian faith and experiences of prayer” If you would like to be part of a team planning and hosting this space once a month starting in September or have an idea or gift you would like to share please do come along on May 24th or contact Selina with your ideas.selina@thegarners.me.uk Sunday 19 May 6pm Runnington Church.
