Questions to help you look prayerfully at the picture

FIRST LOOK
When you first look at the picture, what do you notice? What is your eye first drawn to?
What shapes and colours are there in the picture? What spaces are there?
Where are the people in the scene looking? Is anyone looking at you?
What is in the background, middle ground, and foreground?
Where has the artist put you, the viewer, in relation to the picture? Are you looking down on the scene or looking up to it, are you a long way off or drawn into the action in some way?
How would you describe the picture to someone who couldn’t see it? What would you tell them about it?
PRAYING THE PICTURE
If the people in the picture could talk to you, what do you think they would say?
If you could choose to be part of this scene, where would you choose to be and what would you do?
What do you think the artist hoped you might feel and think as you looked at the picture? What do you think and feel? Tell God about it.
Imagine Jesus is looking at the picture with you. What do you want to say to him about it, and what does he say to you?

Donate to Seal Church

Like all charities, and many individuals, Seal Church finances are being badly affected by the coronavirus.

If you can give so that we can keep the church and its service to our local community thriving, please would you consider doing so, either by standing order, or with a one-off donation, gift aided if possible. Our treasurer, Vanessa Griffiths will be happy to help if you have any questions. Donations can also be made directly to our bank account:

Getting married?

Would you like to get married at Seal Church?

We'll be delighted to help.

It is nearly always possible for you to be married here at Seal Church, even if you don't live in the parish. Just get in touch with the vicar to talk about it.

Weddings cost between £498 and £753 depending on what "extras" you have, but if money is a problem we may still be able to help, so don't let that be a barrier.

Church weddings don't have to be big or fancy. Brides don't have to wear white. You don't have to be churchgoers. We'll be happy to help you plan a wedding that suits you, as far as it is legally and practically possible to do so.
