Six Wednesdays with the Psalms
Not all the Psalms of course! But enough to get us into the most human and possibly the most spiritually fruitful, part of the Bible. This study begins on Wednesday, April 14th, through to May 19th. Please let Don Ross know of your interest so that an order can be placed for an inexpensive guide – Spirituality of the Psalms by Walter Breuggeman.
Taizé Prayer
We will hold a prayer service featuring chanting in the style of Taize. Please join us for this quiet meditative time together to mark the season of lent. Sunday at 7:00 pm.
