Lenten Prayers

Lent is a forty-day season for prayer which is not only about talking to God but listening for God.  During Lent, there are a variety of additional opportunities for common prayer, as follows, that you are encouraged to explore as ways to create a bit of quiet space for listening in the midst of the busy-ness and noise of our lives. Please note that these liturgies tend to be rather short, so plan to arrive early because if you arrive late you might miss them!

Tuesday Nights at 9 p.m. - Night Prayer (New Zealand Compline service) - approximately ten minutes long.

Wednesday Nights at 7 p.m. - Holy Eucharist with Prayers for Healing - approximately thirty minutes long.

Thursday Mornings at 7 a.m.. - Morning Prayer - approximately fifteen minutes long.

Friday Afternoons at 5 p.m. - Stations of the Cross - approximately fifteen minutes long. (Please note that as in past years the church will be open during the day on Fridays if you prefer to pray this service on your own, but this specific opportunity is offered for those who wish to pray together.

We Seek To Be Instruments
Of God's Peace.

We are a worshiping community, grounded in prayer and centered on Christ. In our life together we seek to be a people that are continuing to grow into the full stature of Christ, with God's help. We strive to be a learning community, a caring community, and a community called to serve the world. Our ministries aren't ultimately about words on a web page, but about the men and women and young people who are on a journey together. The best way to learn more about our ministries is to join us in that journey.
