Hello again,
I've yet to add my notes from the second Sunday with Mary, but I wanted to get a post up about the Prayer Watch event that happened last weekend. Several folks commented on the event during Sunday morning adult ed and I thought the blog might be a good way for folks to continue to share thoughts. I came to the event from a couple of perspectives: 1) as someone seeking to add depth to my prayer practice, and 2) as one of the event planners, hopeful that others would find the Watch to be meaningful and community enhancing. I have to admit, I was a bit apprehensive about how it would go...but I've gotten a lot of very positive feedback from folks about how powerful an experience it was...awesome!
I had signed up for two separate hours - an early morning stint that I did alone at home and a evening slot that I did with my daughter Sydney at the church. I'm still processing my experiences, but in both cases I felt refreshed after the hour and during the hour, a sense of freedom...letting go of answering my phone, checking e-mail, or letting the dog out, etc. Anybody else with thoughts to share? You can do so via the "comment" option for this blog entry. Please share!
What a great job by Susan and Betsy in setting up the prayer resource room! I captured it in video with my phone:

The congregation is rich in ethnic and socioeconomic diversity, coming from virtually every walk of life. We come together because of shared spiritual needs and concerns about how God works in our lives. We are a community that empasizes the ministry of lay persons. We seek to be a place where ministry to families, youth singles, university students, staff, and faculty members flourishes.
