'absence that is like a presence ...'

Still Waters returns to St. Mary's Church, Sullington, from April until October.  We begin at 8am with a short introduction leading into shared silence of about 35 - 40 minutes, followed by a repeat at 9am. You are welcome to come for an hour, or to stay for the whole time.

St. Mary's Church, Sullington. RH20 4AE

It will be what some call 'Holy Saturday', which concludes the season of Lent. For me this is a pivotal day, one with its own significance, often overlooked with business, following Good Friday the day before and anticipating the celebrations of Easter Day. So it will be a time of watching and waiting, emptying into the silence, bringing our loving attention to what the poet R. S. Thomas described as 'this great absence that is like a presence'.

Peace be with you.
