Next event Autumn Term 2026
St Joseph’s, Christchurch
Watch this space…
These Spirit-filled themed events are open to everyone and very popular.
We held them once each term before the pandemic
and are now aiming for two per year.
The event lasts an hour and a half and begins with praise and worship using contemporary worship music. Then we have one or two passages from scripture and a short talk/reflection on the theme. This leads into a beautiful and powerful extended time of silent prayer/reflection where people can move around the building choosing from a range of ‘prayer stations’ to help them explore the theme and go deeper. We come together again at the end for a final time of sung praise and worship
