Feedback on www. or Wednesday Worship With Dot on 17 December

This was an experience of the Labyrinth.

The peace of it all! The stepping out from the pressures of the office and indeed of pre-Christmas preparations…. The church can never have looked more lovely: fresh Christmas tree, stunning candles and candles and candles.

We turned up as and when we were able, and when we did we were given a CD player. One click and in the beautifully but subtly lit church we suddenly heard refreshing, relaxing music and then a smooth, gentle woman's voice. She helped us calm down, relax, think about who we are, where we are at, who God is, who He is for us.

Each person went round the 10 or so "stations" at his/her own pace. Under the "Leonardo da Vinci" Last Supper relief was a central station - a low table with bread on a platter and wine in a goblet. An invitation to taste… and see? Here's what the voice said at this point

This is holy space

God is here

You are welcome

This is your space to be with God

And God's space to be with you

Make yourself at home

Be yourself

Be real

There's no rush

Let God love you

Let God know you

Let God heal you

Let God speak to you

Receive from God

Commune with God

Feed on God

…….such a sense of peace, being outside time, resting….

What a beautiful experience it was: very private, very meaningful.

Dorothy Neilson and Ruth Gillett have offered to lay this on again, perhaps once a "term", and as an open house, i.e. from, say, noon until 6.00p.m.

You'll so appreciate it if you can catch ½ an hour in the Labyrinth.
