Praying With Labyrinths

On Sunday 14th Sept 2014 the benefice hosted its latest 'Explore' which focused on using labyrinths to create an engaging way for young and old to encounter and worship God.  It was a great success.  Adults were led in prayer and meditation by Fr Phelim while the children engaged in a slightly different way through walking, running, being quiet and reverently staying still near the candle-lit centre.  It was remarkable to witness how both these approaches worked well together and how respectful and understanding the young people were of the slower, more reflective approach of the adults.  

Of course, the service was followed by cakes, this time Black Forest Gateaux!
