Benefice Prayer Initiatives – an update
Exploring Silence
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.
The CHURN Branch of the MU
The next Pram Service will be on Wednesday 1st September at 12.15pm in the Vale Room, Blewbury Village Hall. ALL AGES ARE WELCOME.
A sandwich lunch is provided by the Mothers Union after the service. This is a short Eucharist service ideal for pre-school children to bring parents, grandparents, carers to.
