Journey to the Cross and Beyond

The Journey to the Cross is a service of reflection and prayer using images created by the Sisters of Turvey Abbey. The service has its roots in the tradition of the Stations of the Cross and the practice of meditative prayer. Week by week we will reflect on successive stages of Jesus’ final journey and our own experience of death and resurrection in the daily situations of our lives.  Dates in the service list on the back of this newsletter.
