The sessions on Tuesday evenings at 6pm in Upton church continue. Up to 9 people have been meeting and are beginning to find this stillness leads them into a closer relationship with God. We are all learning by experience.

Christ in Quiet

This monthly half hour service has been held in turn at Aston Upthorpe, Blewbury and Hagbourne. At each venue a prayer station has been left as a guide to others. On Saturday September 25th the service will take place at 9am in North Moreton church. A time to listen to God through music and words of scripture.
