West Coast Churches Blog

Over the summer we have enjoyed some lovely walks together, with good conversation on the journey and a pause for reflection we have got to know one another better, shook off some of the stresses of the week and discovered a deeper appreciation for the beautiful landscape in which we live. Tonight will be our final walk of the year....

Being attentive and taking your time

thinkworship is a local initiative to encourage conversations about worship.

Conversation starter: Is worship the actions we perform or the feelings that accompany it?

We have some amazing Church buildings in this benefice. Buildings which have acted as places for the community to gather for generations. They have sheltered us through good times and bad and are soaked in our collective and individual memoires. That is why they are so important to us and why we are happy and proud to share them with others. All our churches are open for visitors to come in and pause, reflect and pray. You are welcome to pop in whenever you are passing if you find the peace of these buildings a helpful focus for reflection.....but buildings just don't do it for everyone....for some people they need some quite different.

Local consultation is an important part of attracting funding for repairs to the Church building, preservation of its historic artefacts and the development of the site as an educational and recreational resource for the community. The project aims to help more people to discover and enjoy St John's, Hall Waberthwaite, a hidden gem.
