soul space is the new name for the monthly times that are replacing 'Reflective Worship' and 'Sanctuary in the City', seeking to provide a 'sacred space' in the heart of the city; a space to explore, to reflect, to pray; a space to find peace, stillness and refreshment.  

soul space will be available at lunchtime and in the evening on the first Wednesday of every month, from September to June (not January) 

Lunchtime soul space From 1:00pm to 1:30pm. This will begin with a short time of quiet worship. Each month we have a different theme, and there may be a bible reading, prayer or thoughts about the theme. We are then 'set free' - this quiet time is yours to spend as you wish. Although officially ending at 1:30pm everyone is welcome to remain in the church for as long as they wish. 

Evening soul space Between 5:30pm and 8:30pm, the church is 'open house' to allow everyone the freedom to come and go, as and when they want. There will also be short times of optional, quiet worship offered separately at 6:30pm, 7:30pm, and 8:30pm, for anyone wishing to join with others in worship.  

Both at lunchtime and in the evening, there will be a variety of spaces available around the church, which will focus on different aspects of that month's theme. These might include an invitation to perform a simple action (e.g., lighting a candle, picking up or laying down a stone), suggest a way of praying, or offer a reflection. Everyone is welcome to visit all, some or none of these areas, and to spend as much, or as little, time at each one as they desire. 

'Come and find the quiet centre in the crowded life we lead' 

soul space seeks to provide a 'sacred space' in the heart of the city; a space to explore, to reflect, to pray; a space to find peace, stillness and refreshment. Spend time with God, in stillness, reflection, prayer or worship. We look forward to welcoming you to soul space on the first Wednesday of any month ! 

Further information about the specific themes and dates for September 2011 - June 2012 can be found HERE 

We also don't expect you to do anything, so don't be worried about getting 'volunteered' for anything. So, although we may meet with others for a time of worship, this is more about being with God than being with each other.  

This is about creating space to listen for God, rather than feeling you have to make polite conversation with your neighbour!  

...but just in case you do want to chat with others, we finish each session with tea and coffee, and tea and coffee are available all evening - so if you just want to slip in and out again, that's fine, but there is also space to chat if you want to do so ! 

In case you've never experienced the church by glorious candlelight - HERE
are some photographs taken at some of the Reflective Services and Sanctuary in the city events - Enjoy !
