Prayer Room

The 24 hour Prayer Room of Liverpool John Lennon Airport has become recognised as such an excellent example of its kind that many organisations and statutory bodies seek advice when creating their own Multi Faith Sacred Space.

The Welcome Notice explains the aim of the room:

Welcome to the Prayer Room of Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
In the midst of our busy lives here is a quiet space in which to pray, to reflect or simply to be still, collect thoughts and find a moments peace. Whether you are a visitor, a passenger or staff may you find blessing here.

Muted lighting and a gently designed colour scheme help create atmosphere while highly individual artwork and fresh flowers provide a distinctive focal point within this valuable facility.

Prayer Tree

A Prayer Tree stands in one corner of the room. If you would like Prayer for yourself, a friend or a situation, then you are invited to write a few words on one of the cards and our Airport Chaplain with gladly pray for you. Of course merely hanging your card on the tree is a prayer in itself, but many of us find it good to know that when we are in need there is someone willing to come alongside.

Bookcases

The book cases at the back of the room hold a wide range of Holy Books and Articles of Faith which include materials to aid relaxation and meditation. Resources are provided for those who would say that they do not profess a faith as such.

Rainbow Garden

An unusual addition to any airport, the garden is a place of natural beauty and is much appreciated by all who enjoy a few moments respite in the fresh air. This open space is developing well as people plant flowering shrubs and trees to celebrate a particular anniversary or in thankfulness for the life of a loved one.

The Chaplaincy Logo

Central to the logo is a kneeling figure which represents human spirituality. The many colours of the rainbow serve to remind us that while all human beings may be different from one another, when we stand side by side in peace and harmony, every hue enriches the whole and plays its part in creating something truly beautiful.

The Chaplain

The Airport Chaplain is Nicky Lees and her office can be found on level 3. Although she is often out in the terminal building, Nicky can easily be contacted at any time via the Information Desk. The greater part of our Chaplain's role is to be there for all passengers, staff or visitors whatever their need may be. Over the years, many have welcomed Nicky's support, care and listening ear with the assurance of complete confidentiality.

The Prayer Room and Chaplaincy are the initiative of Liverpool John Lennon Airport and Mission in the Economy. They acknowledge that human beings are body, mind and spirit and are committed to addressing issues of wholeness in all aspects of their work with people.
