St Stephen's Anglican Church

Contemplative spaces - silence, prayer, meditation

 

Sunday evenings from 5pm to 6pm
 

This contemplative prayer service is a place to:

​

• breathe deeply and share silent meditation with others

• hold space for your thoughts and feelings, without judgement

• reflect on your week, the world and the things that weigh on you

• engage in prayer (whatever that means to you).

 

The format includes silence, prayer, scripture readings, poetry, music and singing.

​Wednesday Evening Meditation Group

​

A weekly evening Christian meditation group is commencing at St Stephen's on Wednesday 4 February, 2026, 6-7pm. This is a ministry of St Stephen’s Anglican Church in collaboration with the World Community for Chistian Meditation (WCCM). The leader of the group is Roland Ashby who is on the St Stephen’s Parish Council and has been a long-standing member of WCCM, including being Victorian State Coordinator.

 

The weekly sessions will include guided mindfulness meditation, short readings from Scripture and the contemplative tradition, as well as a period of silence in which to tap into a deep spring of love, joy, peace and compassion at the core of our being. Jesus called it 'living water' with which we will never thirst. All are welcome and no experience is necessary.
