What's On
Sunday Night at the Gathering Grounds
This is a new expression of Church within the service schedule of KilternanWe celebrate the traditional forms of Anglican worship in Kilternan. However, we also recognise that those expressions of worship are not the only way for everyone. This is nothing new. The Church of Ireland has been in a process of ‘reimagining’ church and exploring new ways of being church. Our bishop has been very supportive of what has been described as ‘fresh expressions of Church’ or ‘pioneering ministry’;
Sunday Night @ the Gathering Ground is a monthly expression of church that will be held in the Kilternan Centre. Wewill gather around tables and enjoy good coffee and good company. There will be music, some reflection and hopefully some inspiration. Plenty of time will be given for people to talk about matters of faith and life.
This is open to everyone. If you are someone embedded in the traditions of the church but would like to experience something a bit new come along. If you are new to church but find the idea of church in a café interesting, see what it’s like.
Sunday Nights @ the Gathering Grounds is on at 8pm on the 4th Sunday of the month.
Alpha course
Alpha course is a series of sessions exploring the Christian Faith. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone is welcome. It runs in cafes, churches, universities, homes- you name it. No two Alphas look the same, but generally they have three key things in common: food, atalk and good conversation.Kilternan parish has recently decided to embrace the Alpha course for outreach and spiritual formation. The first group to go through an Alpha course will be the Select Vestry. In January 2020 we will be promoting serval Alpha courses throughout the community.
Midweek Service
If you are around on Tuesday morning, come join us for a short service of worship from 11:30am till 12 in the meeting room. This will either be a service of Holy Communion or Matins depending on who might be able to lead it.This will be a reflective service, and we hope people will join us after from soup and a chat in the Gathering Grounds.
During Lent there is a regular service of Compline in Tuesday evenings at 7:30pm.
Mindful Mondays
Its good to start the week well. Every Monday at 9am -9:30 am there will be a short time of mindfulness in the meeting room just off the Gathering Grounds.We live in an age of endless distraction. Mindfulness is a call to pay attention and to be present. As we begin another week, we ground ourselves in meditative prayer. Can you think of a better way to start the week?
You don’t have to be a member of the church to participate. We hope people of all traditions and none may join us for a time of steered silence.
