Start:Stop-Into your hands I commend my spirit

The Isenheim Altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald

Thank you for joining us for Start:Stop. This reflection will last around ten minutes, followed by a period of silence and prayer. The prayer response is on the sheet which you can pick up on the table at the entrance to the church.  Please come and go as your schedule dictates. We begin with a short bible reading, which can be found on page 95 in the New Testament section of the Bible.
