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.
soul space
Is available all day on the first Wednesday of every month,
from September to June (not January), and the Wednesday of Holy Week.
soul space
The church is 'open house' from 12:30pm-8pm, to
allow everyone the freedom to come and go, as and when they want. There are
short times of optional, led reflections offered at 1pm and 7pm,
for anyone wishing to join with others in worship.
September 2018 - June 2019 Themes
There is an overall theme of 'Who is Jesus?' for the 2018-2019 session.
Please come along and share with us during the coming months as we reflect on
different aspects of Jesus, eg, Jesus as Teacher, Saviour, Healer, Shepherd,
etc. Details of the dates and specific themes and dates for September 2018-
June 2019 can be found HERE

There willare always 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.

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 !
Come when you can, leave when you must.
Explore some, all or none of what's on offer - you chose how to use the time !

- This is not another formal time full of church-y words !
- This is a place of stillness, peace, and beauty, where you chose how to
spend your time, and how much time
- Join us whenever you can ! Between 12:30pm-8pm - you are free to come and
go whenever suits you
- There will be usually quiet music playing
- There will be various spaces available around the church that you may find
helpful to focus your thoughts or prayers
- You may chose to engage with these spaces or simply ignore them !
- There is no right or wrong way of spending your time !
- We create some space - you choose how to use it !

- You might come along just because you're curious and want to see what goes
on.
- You might come along just because you've never been to anything like this
before
- You might come along just because it could be the only time during the
week when you'll sit down and do nothing !
- You might come along because you are in need of peace, stillness or
refreshment
- You might come along because you need space to reflect, think, or pray
- You might come along because you are searching for God, or want to spend
some quality time with him
- If you come for no other reason - come to enjoy the beauty of this space
- It doesn't matter why you come - and we won't ask you ! - but why not come
along just once, and see if this space speaks to your soul ?
- . . . . . you never know, you might find you want to come back again and
again !

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 spend time with God. . .
. . . but there is also the opportunity to chat with others. Tea and coffee
are also available - if you just want to slip in and out again, that's fine,
but if you want to sit and chat for a while, there is space for that too !
|
We provide the spaces
- how or if you use them, we leave up you !

reflection and quietness,
