PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE

Wednesday • Noon • Sanctuary • Reservation Required • October 28 

​

We are a people of patterns and rituals, and we long for ways and opportunities to make meaning in our lives.  We long to inhabit the sacred spaces and sanctuaries that help us give shape to our lives, to understand our place in God's world.  In that spirit, and during this wilderness season of waiting, we are eager to offer you an alternative way of worshipping together. Each Wednesday at Noon, we will gather for a 30-minute worship experience of prayer and contemplation.  

 

We will follow strict safety guidance of mask-wearing and social distancing. For any questions, please contact Rev. Susannah Pittman or Jonathan Emmons.
