Starting tomorrow, A Season of Prayer: For an Election prayers will be posted to social media, each day, for 9 days. For this season, we encourage you to pray t...his litany every day. (You might also consider praying the Great Litany, beginning on page 148 of The Book of Common Prayer.) We come together, asking God for courage and wisdom, thanking God for love and joy. As we move toward the election of leaders for the United States, may we all join in a season of prayer, committing to offer to God our fears and frustrations, our hopes and dreams. A novena is an ancient tradition of nine days of devotional prayers, often with a specific intention. In this case, we pray for discernment in voting and for the well-being of our nation. Starting October 27 and continuing through the day after the election, we invite you to pray for the election of leaders in the United States. These prayers, drawn from The Book of Common Prayer, can be printed out and tucked in a Bible or prayer journal. We encourage you to share your prayers in person or online, with the hashtag #seasonofprayer

Our Sunday service does have an in-person option, but space is not guaranteed. If you wish to watch at home, please follow this link. The video will be saved for later viewing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKuDM-ylsMo
