Thackley's Take a Second


If you turn up at Thackley on the second Sunday in the month at 6.00 pm, you may find something that seems a bit disorganised and chaotic, but ‘Take a Second’ is going strong and is bringing ages from 7 to 70+ together in very special ways. If we were all to turn up at the same time (rarely happens), we now have a group of around 20.

The focus is on fellowship and music. We have piano, guitars, recorders, percussion, ukulele, clarinet, saxophones and voices. Our choice of music varies from Taize and hymns from Singing the Faith, through to songs from Rend Collective, and if you’re lucky, we’ll all play the same one at the same time!

One thing we can ensure is a fun-filled evening with a loving church family. Our next “gig” is Easter Day worship.

Ruth W, Thackley

May message from the Ministry Team

Dear friends One of the ‘deep wells’ that replenishes my spirituality is the practice of ‘Lectio Divina’ which is an ancient method for praying with the Bible. It literally means ‘divine reading’, or ‘reading in a godly kind of way’. We rush about so much these days and practising the discipline of a slower reading of the Bible to allow it to speak to us is an integral aspect of Lectio Divina. If you want to try it yourself, read slowly a short passage of text that you have decided upon in advance, letting your awareness rest in turn upon each word. As you read, be alert for any particular word or phrase that draws your attention in a special way. Then meditate on this word or phrase, allowing it to engage you fully. Does the word connect with some aspect of your own experience? As you hold this in your heart, let yourself become aware of any answering words, images, or memories that arise in you. Then finally respond through prayer to the word you have heard, simply and directl...
