Our vocation is the way we have been called to live our lives. It is far more than the way we earn our
living. It is what gives us energy and vitality. “A blessing is the visible, perceptible, effective proximity of God. A blessing demands to be passed
on – it communicates itself to other people. To be blessed is to be oneself a blessing.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer String and a Prayer. Join us as we string beads, reminding us to take life one piece at a time, one challenge at a time. Sunday 30th of June 2024.
We may say that God knows everything but are we able to bring our real selves before God or do we try to bring our ‘best’ selves?
Hello friends, attached is the info about our upcoming retreat. Let us know if you are coming. Don't forget to let us know your dietary requirements.
FINDING THE PRESENCE OF GOD IN THE POTS AND PANS OF OUR DAILY LIVES. We are used to experiencing God in our prayer, our liturgies and perhaps in nature.
However, how can we find in the daily activities of our lives, in the small apparently mundane things we do every day. In this day of prayer, we will explore some ideas that may assist us in finding God in our daily activities. There will be some shared prayer and time for silent contemplation. Please join us at the House of Prayer on Wednesday 15 th May 9am-3pm. Please bring your lunch. Suggested donation is $10-$20. To register please contact the House of Prayer. On Sunday the 21st of April, our Quaker friend David Johnson will facilitate a Learning-Circle to explore "The Light in the Conscience" - a central pillar of Christian and Quaker spirituality.
Please join us in our Silent, Spiritual Music Retreat. Embrace Stillness, Contemplation, Calm and Peace. An opportunity to withdraw from Worldly chatter and Nourish your Spirit
Praying with change, fear and grief.
Change can be both confronting and exciting. The birth of a child is a change for a family and may bring great joy, yet also fear. Other changes bring great challenges and grief. Sometimes our lives alter dramatically and suddenly as in the loss of a much-loved job or the sudden death of a loved one. At other times it is slow and agonising as in chronic ill health of ourselves or a loved one. Where is God in all this we may wonder. In this day of prayer, we will explore our fears and griefs at the changes that have occurred in our lives. There will be some shared prayer and time for silent contemplation. Please join us at the House of Prayer on Wednesday 17th April 9am-3pm. Please bring your lunch. Suggested donation is $10-$20. To register please contact the House of Prayer. |
