Thursday 24th June at 7.30pm
Reflection and Compline
A service for Thursday evenings. Each week there will be a short reflection on the gospel reading for that day, holding the light of the Gospel up to the strange times we are all living through. We then share in the ancient, short service of Compline, or Night Prayer; a thoughtful and peaceful way to bring the day to a close.
Please do join in at home as you are comfortably able: you may wish to stand, sit and kneel as you normally would in church (we have included instructions for posture in the order of service for this reason), and/or to speak and sing along with the congregational elements of the service.
A video of the Reflection and Compline Service will appear below at 7.30pm on Thursday evening. You do not need to sign in to watch it. Please refresh your browser by pressing F5 if the video doesn't play.
Stations of the Spirit: 22-30 May 2020
A series of nine video reflections for the nine days between Ascension and Pentecost, offered as a contribution to the Thy Kingdom Come prayer movement. Dean Nicola and Canon Richard will be contributing to the reflection to be broadcast on Thursday 28 May. The videos can be accessed each day at www.transcendence.org.uk
Morning Prayer
All are welcome to join the clergy at online Morning Prayer each weekday at 8.30am. To take part, please email dean@southwellminster.org.uk. You will need a device with an internet connection, but little prior technical knowledge is required.
Virtual Junior Church
Whilst the Minster is closed, Junior Church will become Virtual Junior Church, allowing children and families to come together to take part in themed activities that we would have otherwise done together on a Sunday morning. You can find the activity sheets in the tabs below
If you are interested in helping with Junior Church or would like to find out more information about it, please contact Mrs Karen Edginton by calling 01636 815836 or emailing edginton1@hotmail.com
Stilling Prayer
Stilling Prayer (or ‘Christian Meditation’) is held each Monday in term time at 7.30pm. For the time being we will be moving on-line and observing it collectively in our homes on Mondays 7.30 – 8.00 pm. The leader for each evening will supply us with a short thought or quote to help lead us into silence, in much the same way as when we meet. If you would like to join this on-line group please e-mail the group’s coordinator Stephen Ibbotson who can be contacted on ibbotson51@gmail.com
