Tag: night church

Night Church is an idea born in Copenhagen. It’s church for people who don’t really do church. It’s a space for reflection, prayer, meditation, or whatever you want to call sitting quietly in candlelight thinking about things. It’s a little cosy oasis in the middle of our busy lives.

Some people come for 15 minutes. Some people stay for the whole hour and a half. It’s up to you. Stay for as long or as short a time as you like. There’s tea and coffee in the hall if people want a chat, or just a different space to sit in for a while.

There is often music playing queitly, usually something you might not hear in other places like a choir, classical or chant. Sometimes it’s a playlist of pop songs on a theme or even some live cello. Occasionally there are prayer stations or words and images projected on the screens to provoke your thinking and to appeal to those who think best when their hands are busy. We end with a 15 minute spoken word service which people are welcome to join in, or not.
