Quiet Mornings

Ever wish you had time set apart for quiet prayer? Or, perhaps a mini-morning retreat? Do you desire structure to support an ongoing practice, but need flexibility too? We will hold these every month. You can take part whenever you’d like to match your schedule/desire/need. Interested adults are invited to gather with us at 9:30am for introductions and a short gathering prayer. We will move into silence from 9:45 to 10:35am. During that time, individuals might elect to stay in the meeting space or visit the chapel, walk the labyrinth, sit by the pond, etc… At 10:35 am we will regather briefly for a common prayer of thanksgiving and closing.
