About this gathering

Wake Up Body and Soul

Rise and Shine is our monthly Saturday morning: forty minutes of gentle, chair-friendly stretching led by physiotherapist and church member Ruth B., woven with a short devotion and prayer. No experience, no special clothes, no camera required.

Join from your living room with a cup of tea. Grandparents stretch beside grandchildren; early birds beside night owls who regret everything. All are very welcome.

How the morning flows

  1. 1.Welcome and warm-up (08:00). A short psalm, then slow neck, shoulder and back movements you can do seated or standing.
  2. 2.Stretch and scripture (08:25). Longer holds paired with a verse to carry into the weekend — breathe in, breathe out, let go.
  3. 3.Prayer to close (08:50). Ten quiet minutes bringing the week’s joys and aches before God, together.

From a regular

“My back is seventy-one and my faith felt stiff too. An hour later both move a little easier — I haven’t missed a month since.”
