4th Sundays, 5 pm, in the Chapel
From The. Rev. Roxane Gwyn - If you've been a part of our Contemplative/Healing Service on Sunday evenings, this scripture will sound familiar to you:
More than ever the word about Jesus spread far and wide. Crowds were gathering to hear him and to be cured of their diseases. Meanwhile, Jesus would slip away to deserted places and pray. Luke 5:15-16.
This passage is the framework within which we craft our time together, with Jesus as the very model for both healing and contemplative prayer time.
The Contemplative/Healing service brings us together as a community of Christ to break the bread, pour the wine, and gather at the table for Holy Eucharist.It joins us in holy silence, a bit of poetry, candlelight, scriptures of healing acts, and prayers at every turn.It unites us in particular prayers of healing and anointing with holy oil.As one of our lovely chants goes, In God alone my soul can find rest and peace, in God my peace and joy. Only in God my soul can find its rest, find its rest and peace.
Nothing is asked of you but your desire to join in sacred space to listen for the voice of God.April 24, May 26, June 23, July 28, and beyond.
