Wednesday   

Quaker Meeting

1:15 – 1:45pm

Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy some stillness over lunchtime the Quaker way. Arrive from 1pm. We settle into silence for half an hour from quarter past. Quakers value peace, equality, truth, simplicity and the natural world. There are no ministers, nor is there a fixed creed. In the quiet we look for a sense of connection and seek guidance. 

There’s no need to book – just drop in when it feels right for you.

Where
The Quiet Room, Multifaith Chaplaincy.

Who
Open to all students, regardless of faith background.

Led by David Prosser (Quaker local faith contact).

Friday

Staff Meditation

Friday

End of Week Prayer

1:20-2pm

Bring an end to the working week with a quiet reflective time of prayer.

We will quietly review our week, harnessing the power of gratitude as we become mindful of activities, encounters and moments for which we are thankful.

This will be followed by an invitation to reflect on aspects of the week that haven't been so easy including challenges, upsets and struggles. These might be personal or may be related to events in the world around us. We will then be invited to respond by laying down these challenges or offering them to God in prayer.

This prayer time is led from a Christian perspective but aims to be accessible to people of all faiths and none. 

Where
The Quiet Room, Multifaith Chaplaincy

Who
Open to all staff and students.

Led by Sam Hackett (Free Church Chaplain).
