God is deeply committed to giving His people peace and calm.
To provide for us our ‘daily bread’. He hears when we cry out and He is so ready to speak to our hearts and situations, to minister to us and encourage us. Nothing is beyond His care and touch.
His word reminds us that “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear…” (Psalm 46:1-2a).

Meditation in the Christian Tradition.
Be still and know that I am God. (Psalm 46:10).
This small group gathers online each Thursday at 9:30-10:15am to practise the spiritual discipline of guided silence, or meditation together. This is a time of setting aside our own agenda, and practising the presence of God. All are welcome.
Ps 46:10 Be still and know that I am God.
Interested in joining? Use the Contact Us button below.
The Zoom experience includes a body awareness exercise and scripture in song to assist us and bookend the silence. The Zoom call will begin with a period of interaction with other participants, a time of prayer, 10 minutes of silence and then a brief period of interaction at the end.
The aim of this group is to provide a weekly commitment that can assist in participants developing their own daily meditation practice.
Robyn Stokes facilitates the group, assisted by Liz Lee.
What type of Christian Meditation is this?
Following the tradition of John Cassian and the early Christian fathers in the fourth century, and rediscovered by John Main in 1970s. The form it takes is as follows:
- Sit down.
- Sit still with your back straight.
- Close your eyes lightly.
- Then interiorly, silently begin to recite a single word – a prayer word or mantra. We recommend the ancient Christian prayer-word “Maranatha”.
- Say it as four equal syllables. Breathe normally and give your full attention to the word as you say it, silently, gently, faithfully and above all – simply. The essence of meditation is simplicity.
- Stay with the same word during the whole meditation and from day to day. Don’t visualise but listen to the word as you say it.
- Let go of all thoughts (even good thoughts), images and other words. Don’t fight your distractions but let them go by saying your word faithfully, gently and attentively and returning to it immediately that you realise you have stopped saying or it or when your attention is wandering.

Prayer and Testimony Nights
This group meets on the first Tuesday night of each month either in person or online.
We are a group passionate about worshipping God. We share what He is doing through testimony – which grows our faith and expectation in the powerful move of God.
We seek to grow in understanding the differing practical demonstrations of the living and active presence of Holy Spirit.
This is also a safe and fantastic space to practice moving in the prophetic.
This group is created as a training space for our prayer teams but is available to all.
Praying the word of God booklet
The word of God is powerful as a tool for prayer. Here is a booklet we produced at NewHope to use as a quick guide to powerful passages that relate to some of your prayer cries. May it bless you.
