June Saturday Quiet Day: Praying with the Hymns We Love

PRAYING WITH THE HYMNS WE LOVE On this Quiet Day, musician and priest Rev’d Dr Becky Warner will be offering some ways of praying and reflecting with God through some of the nation’s favourite hymns. In the morning, we will look at hymns about our walk through life with God, including Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer, Be Thou My Vision, I the Lord of Sea and Sky. In the afternoon we will focus on hymns about stillness and refreshment, including Be Still My Soul, Be Still for the Presence of the Lord, and Dear Lord and Father of Mankind. Guidance will be given to allow the words and music of the hymns to lead us into prayer, to listen to how they might resonate with our lives, and to ponder the questions they may be prompting us to reflect on. There will also be an optional opportunity to write some lyrics of your own if you so wish. The day will offer encouragement and refreshment through the music and storytelling of the hymns we love. LED BY REV’D DR BECKY APPLIN WARNER Becky balances life as both musician and priest.
