‘When was the last time you went somewhere completely different and found it hard to settle in? Remember how it was when you started a new school, or a new job, went to a new Diocese?
We can be so used to going to church that we forget what it is like the first time. Research undertaken after last years Back to Church Sunday, showed that out of every 8 people who came back to church only 1 stayed! Making new people feel at home in church is a vital first step, Michael Harvey from Back To Church Sunday, will be speaking at 2 training events to help us welcome better.
PRAYING THE LABYRINTH
St Bartholomew’s Church East Ham
Revd John Brown
Wednesday 29th July 2009
7:30pm 9:30pm
The journey as a metaphor for the Christian life dates back to the time when the church was called ‘The Way’. Walking and praying the labyrinth as a symbol of that journey has been an important tool for Christians for centuries. This session will introduce people to the theology of the labyrinth and prayer resource as well as offering an opportunity to walk the labyrinth. This is a great opportunity to find out more about this exciting and creative spiritual tool.
