Advent Prayer Vigil

for 8 hours
St Mary’s Welsh Newton
Welsh Newton, NP25 5RN, United Kingdom
A day of prayer in St Mary's on the first Sunday in Advent - a chance to spend time praying and being in God's presence. This is open to anyone. You don't need to have any special knowledge or experience - just a willingness to spend time with God. We'll provide creative materials to help you focus your prayer, but you're equally welcome to just sit quietly. You can sign up for a half- or one-hour slot at the link on our website or by emailing [email protected] - we'll let you know what slots are available and sign you up.
