readings. There are no hymns and the prayers use contemporary language.

| Tuesday 5:30 – 6:10 pm Vespers From the ancient monastic tradition comes this service of the ‘vesper light’ or twilight. We use a simple form of prayer created by the Iona community and share our thoughts on the Bible reading of the day and how God is speaking to us through it. |

Thursday mornings, please join us for half an hour of Centering Prayer/Silent Meditation at 7:30am. We meet at 2015 9th Street. Please use the side door.
*Eucharist
is a traditional term for holy communion. It comes from the Greek word
for thanksgiving and helps us to remember that this is a joyful service
of thanksgiving to the Creator.
