Advent Meditation takes on place in Holy Rood Church, Wool on

Thursdays 3rd, 10th and 17th December at 7.00pm

We may not be able to buy and wrap the presents or write the cards and letters for you, or do any of the hundred and one other extra jobs that Christmas brings, but we do want to offer you a way to escape for a little while from the Christmas rush.  You can do this by dropping in to our series of Thursday evening services. Lasting about 25 minutes, they will provide time for stillness, prayer and meditation. Giving ourselves just a short break can re-charge our batteries for the busy-ness of life, even the Christmas rush!
