Contemplative Eucharist
Parish Events
Experience the Living Presence with the Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic
Ascension’s sessions on the Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic continue on Saturday, March 1st, and every first Saturday of the month until June! These facilitated gatherings offer opportunity for chanting in Aramaic, and responding with contemplative silence, movement and creative art (materials provided). Familiarity with the book Prayers of the Cosmos (1990), by Neil Douglas-Klotz, is helpful but not required, and you need not have participated in previous sessions to be able to participate meaningfully. You are warmly invited to attend. No charge. Tea and coffee will be provided.
Taizé Evenings
You are warmly invited to our Taizé evenings on the first Thursday of each month, at 7 pm.
Blue Christmas – Sunday, December 22
Sunday, December 22nd, 2024 at 5 PM
You are warmly invited to attend this contemplative service of prayers, readings and music, and a time to acknowledge the “blue” feelings we have at Christmas time. Together, we’ll reflect on the pain, the loneliness, and the sadness we may feel and offer it to God for healing and transformation.
Winter Solstice Labyrinth Walk – Saturday, December 21
December 21st, 2024 4pm-6pm
