A NEW church service offering solace from the stress of working life is being launched by St Peter’s Church in Petersfield.

Called Reflect, to chime with the church’s weekly cafe Refresh, this will be monthly, with the first starting on June 14, at 1pm.

Recognising that a huge number of people commute to and from the town each day, often with demanding jobs, the church in Petersfield Square is looking to provide some much-needed time out.

The quiet, meditative service of around 20 to 25 minutes, which will look at issues around work, holidays, leisure and home, is aimed at those who also work in Petersfield.

“It is designed for people who want to take time out in the middle of the day, either from work or just every day hustle and bustle,” said Hugo Deadman of St Peter’s.
