Silent Meditation in the Christian tradition is known as Contemplative Prayer. We sit in silence and focus our concentration on the present moment. There is nothing complicated about meditation, it is as simple as being still and seeking inner silence, but developing a regular habit in our busy lives is the challenge. Silently praying as a group can help embed that discipline, just like joining with other on a parkrun can help maintain an exercise routine that may otherwise fizzle out. This service lasts for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TEA TIME PRAISE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4pm every 1<sup>st<\/sup>  Sunday of the month<\/strong>.
