... at Norwood Church
Using a variety of approaches, and the gifts of different leaders, this hour, 7:00 – 8:00 pm on the first Friday of each month, provides an opportunity to step out of the bustle and busyness of life.
In a safe and quiet space we offer not traditional worship, but a more reflective time in which to explore the hidden depths we all have, and to draw nearer to God. The approach will be to use music, poetry, art and other creative arts, as well as Scripture.

“In quietness and trust is your strength”
The Endsleigh Ecumenical Spirituality Team has put together two programmes over the next 12 months:
“Come to the Well and Drink”
A series of six Thursday evenings from Sept to Nov. Sometimes we want to pray, but are not sure how to go about it, or we want to find a new way. This course offers suggestions and opportunities for exploring different ways into prayer. The invitation is to "Come to the Well and Drink." Be refreshed, restored, resourced. The course covers:
What is Prayer? Who is God for me? Prayer Journaling. Mandalas. Ways into Silence and Stillness. Christian Meditation. Lectio Divina. Praying with Poetry. Contemplative Mindmapping. Praying with Music. Imaginative Contemplation. Praying the Labyrinth.
The cost is £5 per session and it is not necessary to do all the evenings, but you can pick and mix.
“Exploring Spiritual Direction”
An approach to faith accompaniment. This course lays the foundations for people wishing to accompany others in their journey of faith. It is a series of 14 Wednesday evenings and 2 Saturdays and costs £110.
The Course reflects different denominations and Christian traditions, and introduces spiritual direction as a specific discipline within Christian pastoral care. The Course is experiential and practical, and can also be used to explore one’s own faith journey.
The course includes: Theory and Practice of Spiritual Direction, Models of Faith Accompaniment, Theological Reflection, Ignatian Discernment, Sexuality & Spirituality, Personality & Spirituality, Good practice & Supervision
There are leaflets available containing all the details.
