Thanksgiving Eve Eucharist-- Join us for our annual Thanksgiving eve service on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 at 6:00 pm.
Centering Prayer – a form of Contemplative prayer has been part of the Christian tradition for several centuries. It is a way to “be still and know that I am God.” In our busy lives why not take some time out to refresh yourself by learning about this interesting form of prayer and joining a group of us who practice this every Tuesday evening. The group led by Ann Aldrich, will meet in the chapel at 6:00pm every Tuesday for approximately 45 minutes to an hour.
 Group Reunions
Are you looking to join a group reunion? All are invited to join us as we form reunion groups on Wednesdays at 6:30 pm in the small chapel. If the group is too large we will form smaller groupings. You are welcome to join even if you have not yet attended a Cursillo weekend. Invite your friends and come start a practice of prayer, study, piety.
