As part of the Thy Kingdom Come season our Peninsula Parish whānau are holding a contemplative prayer vigil on Saturday night.

People are invited to spend some time in the quietness and stillness of the candle lit church and reflect on the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, praying for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit on themselves, friends, neighbours, colleagues and the church.

This prayer vigil contemplative service will consist of an hour of reflective visuals, silence, scripture readings and music based on the images of the Holy Spirit from the Bible that will serve as a guide for silent prayer, reflection and contemplation.

Alex Growcott, who manages the church op shop, Shop 89, has also set up a prayer and reflection space within the shop to invite neighbours to join in prayer or reflect as they enjoy a drink.
