Most of the Deep River team are involved in the Deeper monthly worship event at St Silas in Glasgow which takes place on the 3rd Sunday of the month. 

This is our core event where a great deal of the inspiration and innovation comes from.

Earlier

  1.   2004 - Graham and Ross first start to develop the idea of Deep River as a way of bringing together the resources we have created for ‘The River’ and ‘Deeper’ and looking for opportunities to use visuals (especially video) within worship.

  2.   2003 Oct - first DEEPER service - once a month Sunday evening service borrowing a lot of elements of The River.  Deeper is planned by a small group of people with all the elements of the service tying together to whatever topic is being presented.

  3.   2003 Apr - The River stops

  4.   2000 Jan - St Silas begins an ‘alternative’ worship service once a month on a Friday night called which used lots of media and didn’t have a sermon, called The River. Graham, Ross, Jenny, Jo all involved in The River. Planning, generating ideas, gathering resources and taking lots of pictures.
