Prayer at Home

The Story at Home is a weekly resource based on one of the readings for the coming Sunday. Each week, a couple of multi-age activities are proposed as well as reflection questions and articles for further reading.

Daily and Nightly Prayers offer a pattern for returning our attention to God. This simple service of Daily Prayer can be used with the Revised Common Lectionary office readings or with the included set of seasonal readings. The service of Nightly Prayer includes a short guided reflection (examen) on your day.

You can also join any Zoom meeting by phone. Dial 1-587-328-1099 and enter the meeting ID and password when prompted.

Introducing Icons

All New Story at the Rectory 
July 2, July 30, August 6 at 7:30pm

Iconography is one of the earliest shared languages of the church. For thousands of years icons have revealed sacred truths, proclaimed the Gospel, passed on traditional wisdom, and helped reflect back to us our own experiences, illumined by the light of God. On July 2, July 30, and August 6, Adam will lead a discussion group on Zoom, first talking about iconography in general, and then exploring specific icons later on.

Story at the Rectory

Being Disciples: Essentials of the Christian Life
by Rowan Williams

First and Third Thursdays, from 7:30-9pm
May 7 and 21, June 4 and 18

This book of short essays by Rowan Williams encourages us to ask ourselves “whether what we do, how we think and speak and act, is open to Christ and Christ’s Spirit”.

We’ll meet on Zoom to ask these questions and explore how to be church in our current context.

A sample .pdf of the first chapter is available at https://bit.ly/34StHKu. The book is easily available and the ebook only costs a few dollars!
