Each weekend is an opportunity for us all, women and men, to hear and see the Good News through the words and the lives of named and unnamed women in the Gospels and allow these women to speak into your life.

There will be the opportunity to enter and explore each story through Lectio Divina, poetry, Visio Divina, photography, labyrinth walks, art, midrash and silence.  Spiritual accompaniment will also be available with the retreat team.

4th Friday Labyrinth Walks at the Centennial Park Labyrinth  10 am 
Facilitated by Elizabeth Lee

 Walking the Labyrinth with the Beloved in John’s Gospel

Each fourth Friday of the month we will take a different excerpt of The Gospel of John opening to the interplay of images, words, symbols, metaphors, silence, nature, walking, community and prayer. Let us see where we are drawn, led, or invited as we open ourselves to the Divine Mystery. Once again inspired by Sally Longley’s book “Walking the Labyrinth with the Beloved in John’s Gospel,”

Contemplative Prayer

A Contemplative Prayer Gathering for those who wish to meet the Beloved in their home sacred space.
 

As we cannot meet physically at present, each week on Wednesdays at 6pm we invite you to light a candle, sit in your sacred space, and join us across the spaces that separate for a time of silent listening.
 

Ready for each Wednesday evening, participants will be emailed, in advance, a guided meditation to accompany their contemplative practice.  To receive these offerings in your inbox, email Debbie at Merthyr Road Uniting Church, New Farm, QLD: office@mruca.org.au
