Being a Member of the Community of Hopeweavers
Most of our 48 Members are very involved in their home churches - as leaders and as active participants - over 20 different traditions and churches are represented within our membership and we gain much through unity.
Each Member is part of a Community of Hopeweavers small group, that meet about 6-8 times a year to encourage and share the journey of living to a Rule of Life. These groups are seen as additional to local church membership. Members and Enquirers are also invited to be part of Community Quiet Days (Cloister Days) - see above - space set aside for the community to gather together, to consider our particular contributions as we grow our community.
Members and Enquirers participate and lead weekly times of prayer and Friday Midday Holy Communion in West End, alongside other forms of prayer and practical service.
