Worship on Zoom - Eucharistic or a Service of the Word.

Come together on a Wednesday afternoon for tea and cake or coffee and cake and share your stories.

A time for parents and children to come together in church. Coffee and chat for families and we provide a safe place to grow, be curious, and be supported by other caregivers and the core staff. Most of all, it's a fun environment to get messy!

We meet together in St Margaret's Church every Tuesday and Friday

Nearly every Sunday at St Luke's Church there is a service. The Fourth Sunday is usually a Non-Eucharist Service.

Please join us, you will be very welcome.

During Advent and Christmas please go to separate pages for special services.

‘Open the Story at St Luke’s Forest School’ is held in the grounds of Countess Wear Community School. A bible story is explored with lively activities planned. It culminates in discussion, prayer and a song round a bonfire. There are regularly twenty to thirty people of all ages attending, and sometimes more. The majority of these are children but it is a whole family event. It is held on the second Sunday of the month.

A time for parents and carers with babies to come together, have coffee and discuss. Giving support to each other helps both parties. Jan Renwick gives a lead in this group.

Held in St Margaret’s Church

On the second Monday of the month at 2.30 pm

Julian meetings are held all over the world to foster the practice and teaching of meditation and contemplative prayer within the Christian tradition.

It is a chance to still oneself from the busyness of life, to enter into deep silence, stillness. Many people repeat a word quietly to centre their prayer and as the mind may wander, come back to the word.

We start with music to steady our thoughts. This leads us into our 40 minutes of silence and then music once again to lead us out from the depths of stillness. We then finish with tea and cake and chat.

If you would like to come along and give it a go, you can be sure of a very warm welcome as we enter silence together. We look forward to meeting you.

If this has stirred your curiosity about contemplative prayer, Mother Julian of Norwich, or you would like to find out more then please do not hesitate to contact me.
