First Church of Otago

 Each Tuesday & Thursday 12:15pm – 12:30pm for fifteen minutes, we will take time to be still, to listen, to pray, and to worship. We are inviting our near neighbours to share this time in the middle of the day.  Fliers are being personally delivered to all the businesses in the blocks around First Church. So, if you are in town on Tuesday or Thursday, why not come and join us? And invite others to come too.

First Church stands in the middle of the city, surrounded by shops, offices, businesses and apartments, and it offers a different space, a quiet place, an oasis in the city.  Many people enjoy lunch or some time out on the lawn (on a fine day). Many people visit the church to admire its architecture and its history.

But we know that First Church is primarily a place of worship, a house of prayer. And we know that many people work and live in the immediate neighbourhood. And we think that some of them would appreciate an opportunity to pause briefly in the middle of their working day, to be quiet, to stop rushing, to rest and pray.

“Then they were glad because they had quiet

 and he brought them to their desired haven.”

Psalm 107:30 (NRSV)
