Link to the Pray As You Go website.
“Pray as you go is a 15-minute daily prayer session, designed for use on portable MP3 players, to help you pray whenever you find time, but particularly whilst travelling to and from work, study, etc. A new prayer session is produced every day of the working week and one session for the weekend. It is not a ‘Thought for the Day’, a sermon or a bible-study, but rather a framework for your own prayer.”
St Mary’s church provides opportunities to take part in courses that focus on various aspects of the Christian faith and practice, and they are open to all.
The following are currently running or are about to start:
Lectio Divina
Meditative Bible reading with group participation and prayer. Details.
Romans Bible course
Part 1 in February/March, followed by Part 2 in June/July.
4 sessions in each of those month, to be held in St Mary’s Annexe.
