Stillpointe
Stillpointe began with the crazy idea that it was possible to build a hermitage in the heart of the city! In the midst of urban pressures and responsibilities, Stillpointe deliberately holds a space that by its presence, loves God and God's world, incorporating rhythms of prayer that give opportunity to receive and witness God's acts of love towards us and the city. The 'hermit' is Mary Dickau, who is an elder in pastoral care at Grandview Calvary Baptist Church. She is a retreat facilitator and spiritual director who writes, teaches and shares in Healing Prayer.
Weekly Rhythms of Prayer
OASIS is a hosted time for self-directed prayer and reflection. Oasis is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from noon till 1pm, drop-in.
NEIGHBOURHOOD PRAYER begins with Lectio Divina, leading into prayers, with breakfast shared together before the workday begins. This prayer is held weekly on Wednesdays at 6.30am.
TAIZE is a simple service of music, silence, scripture, and prayer, held on Thursday evenings at 8pm.
Rhythms of prayer shift slightly according to the season. For more information, please call 778-998-5436.
