Creation Groans : Christ Calls

Grieve with creation, listen for the spirit, and commit together to walk in Christlike ways

7-9pm, Tuesday 18th November, Leeds Trinity University Chapel, Brownberrie Lane, Horsforth, LS18 5HD

In the face of climate breakdown, creation groans.
Together as Christians from across traditions, we are invited to listen to this cry, to bring our lament before God, and to seek Christ’s call to faithful action.
The evening will feature a talk from Rev’d Jon Swales MBE, Church of England priest and prophetic theologian, exploring cruciform adaptation—what it looks like to follow Jesus in a world of climate breakdown and societal fracture. Creative prayer stations will also offer space for lament, intercession, and hope.
Refreshments from 7 pm, Talk begins 7:30, Close 9 pm
Car parking available. Accessible by public transport.
All are welcome to join us as we grieve with creation, listen for the Spirit, and commit together to walk in Christlike ways.

Come As You Are: Waiting in Advent

An online day retreat for disabled Christians

Saturday 29th November, 10am-3.30pm, Online

You are invited to a quiet, reflective online retreat exploring the theme of waiting through the lived experience of disabled people and the season of Advent.

This is a gentle, spacious day created by disabled people, for disabled people. There is no pressure to be on camera, to speak, or to produce anything. Just time to rest, reflect, and be together.

We will share in readings, quiet creative practices, and theological reflections on waiting, not as a passive or frustrating absence, but as a deep act of presence, faith, and dignity.
