During the program year, our Centering Prayer Group meets Thursdays from noon to 1:15 p.m. in the sanctuary. Centering Prayer is a form of silent Christian contemplative prayer.

Our “Contemplative Time” group meets year-round on Wednesdays via ZOOM from 5:15 to 6:15 p.m., during which participants practice various forms of silent prayer and meditation.

The Rev. James P. Adams leads Bible Works: Tools for Living, a weekly bible study on Tuesdays at 7 a.m. and noon in the parish hall. The morning session is followed by an 8:05 a.m. Eucharist in the chapel. Coffee and biscuits are offered at the morning session and drinks and snacks are offered at noon.

Join The Rev. Jim Adams for an in-depth exploration of The Gospel of Matthew.  Matthew, the first book of the New Testament, is one of the most beloved and oft-quoted books of the Bible, and the source of some the most beautiful stories in all of Scripture. It is not just a biographical sketch of Jesus, but a theological masterpiece that connects the Old Testament narrative to the story of Jesus.
