KEEPING A PLACE FOR YOU

Every Tuesday a small group gather at St Peter & Emmaus Church, 56 Green Street, JOONDANNA, for an informal morning of Dayspring business or simply time out. There is no need to book - just come.

The day begins at 9.30am with group prayer and meditation using the Dayspring Daily Prayer Book. Morning tea follows and you will then be free to use the spaces available around the Church for your reflection and practice of contemplative exercises. If you are new to Contemplative Practice, there will be someone present who can gently point you in the direction of some simple beginnings.

At 12.30pm we gather again for a midday Eucharist and after that, if you have brought some lunch may enjoy some companionship around a meal.
