Woman at the Well - Evening Retreat

for 2 hours
We are very fortunate to have Donna Worthington coming to lead an evening retreat session for us at St John's Church, Wingates on Sun 1st Oct from 6-8pm. Donna is a fantastically gifted communicator, I think everyone would get something from this session. A details description is below. Please contact Rev’d. Malcolm if you would like to attend, cost £5 per person.

THE WOMAN AT THE WELL (John 4:1-42)| An invitation to journey to the well, to Christ the Living Water.
At Jacob’s well, Jesus broke strict rules of his time in order to reach a woman who was struggling with past relationships, exclusion and isolation; he listened to her in a non-judgmental way, saw her huge potential and she was transformed, finding her own confidence and her own voice. We will explore this intriguing Gospel passage, which helps to illuminate our inner soul journeys and offers an invitation to walk to the ‘well’, to Christ the One who restores us. The retreat will include a short theatre piece, discussion of the Gospel passage, Ignatian guided prayer based on the beautiful journey to the well and a short presentation of guitar music, words and candlelight.

St. James the Great

 “A welcoming church community and a beautiful building”  is the way visitors describe St James the Great church, located at the heart of the old village of Daisy Hill in 1881. Now much expanded Daisy Hill has a growing population and alongside our regular worship, which is centred around the celebration of Holy Communion, we host many open door events for the wider community, support Urban Outreach and charitable organisations.

Welcome to our ‘bit’ of the Church of England’s A Church Near You website. We are trying to use it to share useful information with our worshiping congregation and to communicate with wider communities. You may find items you might not have expected to find under the various labels, we post items were they work best, so please explore and have a good look around using the tabs on the left and then any other tabs in that section. Scroll to the bottom of a page and you may find there are additional pages to move on to offering more information and links to other interesting and useful websites.

We hope you enjoy your visit to our ‘bit’ of ACNY and would value any comments that would help us improve our contribution. Please feel welcome to use the Get in touch email form on the tab on the left to contact us about anything on our webpages or for information about St James’ church Daisy Hill.

A wide variety of services are held at Daisy Hill Church offering traditional and more contemporary worship styles. Each Sunday at 10am a service of Common Worship, Holy Communion with Hymns and it becomes a more Family orientated service on the 2nd Sunday of each month. Each Wednesday at 9am, Wiggle Worship with songs and fun activities for pre-school aged children with parents or guardians followed at 10.30am by a said Book of Common Prayer Holy Communion / Eucharist service using the traditional words with no hymns.

Occasional Services include Messy Church, a lively and fun way to worship and play on a Saturday Morning for school aged children. Periodic Reflective Services are held at St James' and the other churches in the Team to give anyone, who wishes to attend, the space to find some peace and tranquility walking a quiet path with God.
