Service of Lament | 5th November

A Service of Lament: Walking with God through disappointment, loss and suffering

As we invite God to bring healing and hope to our troubled world, we take the opportunity to spend time in reflection and prayer bringing our experiences to God. It is a time to remember loved ones, to grieve, and to be comforted. A time to lament. 

"Out of the depths I cry to you  O Lord; Lord, hear my voice.    psalm 130:1

We hope you can join us for this special service. Please book a free ticket in advance.

Please arrive at 3.45pm for a 4pm start
