Lenten Midweek Gatherings: Got Prayer?
Each Wednesday in the season of Lent between Ash Wednesday and Holy Week (March 12-April 9) we will gather at ChristChurch (in the Commons) to share a meal of soup and bread and explore a variety of prayer forms. We
will begin with supper at 6:30pm, have a brief introduction to the prayer style, engage in a time of prayer, and end by 7:30pm. If you would like to stay past 7:30 to spend more time practicing these forms of prayers you
are certainly encouraged to do so. Everyone is welcome to be part of this
time of prayer and fellowship. These evenings are designed to be family friendly, accessible and engaging for all ages.

Last week we learned about Singing Our Prayers. This Wednesday,
March 19th, we will learn a little about Praying In Color.


Upcoming Wednesdays will cover...
March 26th -    Praying the Scriptures - Lectio Divina

April 2nd -        Walking Our Prayers - Labyrinth
April 9th -         Embodying our Prayers

If you were unable to join us last Wednesday, or would simply like to explore the theme of 'Singing Our Prayers' further, click here to access a new Faith Formation web page that is in its early stages of development. Follow the links to Family Faith - Got Prayer? - Singing Our Prayers. Check back each week as new content will be added for each of the five weeks in the series.

If you would like to volunteer to make soup or help with set-up or clean-up for these Wednesday evening gatherings, a sign-up sheet will be in the Commons on Sunday morning.

There are lots of ways to participate in the life of this community in worship, learning, fellowship and service during the season of Lent. For a more complete listing of opportunities pick up a brochure in the Entry.
