How has the pandemic changed your rhythm of life? For the better or not? Where is Jesus in your pattern of life? 

During the COVID 19 crisis, we have had to adjust to very different rhythms of life.  As Christians, we believe Jesus should be at the heart of our rhythms of life, whatever our circumstances.  Placing Christ at the centre will have a far-reaching impact on our own wellbeing and the good of others – on our loving, living and learning.  We would like to encourage you, and all of St Mary’s community, to join the diocesan ‘Rhythm of Life’ venture.  This will involve individual commitments, accessing resources and mutual support.  Some key areas will be given special attention: praying, encouraging, sharing, reflecting, celebrating, resting and creating.

The Rhythm of Life initiative offers us an opportunity to reignite our faith through four basic steps:

1.     Taking stock. 

2.     Making one or more practical commitments. 

3.     Participating with others. 

4.     Reviewing your commitments periodically. 

Further information, about each stage, is available in the videos on this page and in a leaflet HERE. If you are interested in joining a small group with others from Church to help each other with this process, do get in touch HERE.

You can also find a range of resources to help you through this process on the Diocese of Leeds website:
