Join us online for Morning Prayer every Monday, Wednesday & Friday at 8:30 am. This is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a prayer practice with our online community. Beginning Feb. 5, 2024 we embark on the season of lent and continue thru to Pentecost. This morning practice will include music, scripture, poetry, silence and reflection as we try to enter into the spirit of the day, relaxed and centered. Each sessions reflection is highlighted by the scripture of the day.

This community practice is designed to take us through the liturgical seasons with a new understanding and appreciation, come as you are!
