Prayer Labyrinth
The church park has been transformed into a prayer Labyrinth with the help of Jonnie Parkin of Luminous Lincoln. We hope to use the labyrinth at the next Rock Mass, “Rock Mass Unplugged” at which there will be a BBQ on the 16th of August at 6pm. Why not walk the prayer labyrinth one hot summer day? A labyrinth is different from a maze as it is one continuous path with no wrong turns or dead ends. It is an…

In the centre of Holy Nativity there was giant art installation of the Burning Bush. As Revd Rachel Firth led us through the service, we prayed to break the…
