Lucy Blows became curate in the Benefice of Pill, Easton in Gordano and Portbury a year ago. She has set up a new meditation community starting with a 6-week Introductory Course. Meditation takes place every week in one of the three churches.
Lucy is introducing the children to meditation in 2 primary schools. She has introduced chaplaincy in secondary schools.
Lucy participated in the diocese of Bath and Wells ‘Wave of prayer’ in Nailsea school on Saturday 7th September. There were several prayer stations at Nailsea school as part of the Wave of Prayer across the Diocese. Lucy set up one representing Meditation. At one point all the stools were full as people sat in precious silence and prayer. Lucy has sent images of the one she created.
Archbishop Justin Welby visited the school and went round all the prayer stations including the above. He engaged with young people and was keen to discuss with them and to explore with them their thoughts on what prayer is for them.
