Wednesday Holy Eucharist
Holy Eucharist, Wednesdays at 8:30am in the Chapel.
Thursday Bible Study Group
Based on the Lectionary:
readings from Scripture appointed to be read the following Sunday.
St. Paul’s Bible Study Group meets on Thursdays, 11:30am–12:30pm in the Parish House. Everyone is welcome. No experience necessary!
Centering Prayer Group
Saturdays, 9am–10am in the Parish House
Facilitated by Sr. Susanna Margaret, OSB
Rooted in the prayer tradition of the Psalms where we are reminded, “Be still and know that I am God” (Ps. 46:10), Centering Prayer is a simple, wordless way of praying that makes space for simply being with God and becoming more deeply aware of His presence.
