DEEPENING OUR EXPERIENCE OF GOD ON SUNDAYS
As a parish we have been trying to deepen the experience of the love of God in our lives (passionate spirituality). Each month we are offering three different ways that God's presence and love can become more real to us. One Sunday of the month (June 13) we invite you to stay after service and come up to the front of the church to continue in 'extended worship' in God's presence, led by different musicians from the parish. On June 20, we will have our Parish BBQ. Nothing brings a family together like sharing a meal together. On the fourth Sunday, when we use the Book of Common Prayer, we also offer the opportunity for you to come to the back of the church and recieve special prayer and anointing with holy oil for healing by one of our priests in the parish. The Lord cares for each one of us, and all of our cares, and He wants us to experience His presence, His fellowship, His healing and His love.
