Transformation through Bible Study. It might surprise you that the Friday Morning Bible reflection group does not pretend to have all the answers. We do not even all agree on a “best translation.” We frequently read multiple translations because every things we read is a translation from an ancient language – and every translation is an interpretation. We come from different faith traditions and we respect what each brings to the conversation. We will not tell you what to think.
Instead, we try to hear each passage fresh, every time. We ask questions of the text, of ourselves, and of each other. We firmly trust that Jesus meant what he said: Where a few of us gather in his name, surely he is present. In his presence, we let the Spirit guide us to hear what scripture is revealing to us about God. If truth be told, we aren’t as much “studying” God’s Word as being blessed by it! We are on an amazing journey and you are invited to come along – whether for a single Friday or many.
Everyone is welcome! You can either come into the parish house at 10 a.m. every Friday except the Friday of a holiday weekend. You can log into zoom and join us remotely!

Formation through Contemplative Prayer Have you noticed that life has a way of transforming your spirit, sometimes disturbing your peace. The question before us is always “what transformation is underway in my life?” Are we growing in likeness to Jesus or are we growing away from Jesus? We know that the small group experience of quietly sitting together in the presence of God, trying to be attentive to nothing more than God’s presence, can be powerful. We may not understand exactly what God is doing within us, but this experience transforms us, leaving us more hopeful, more peaceful, more certain that God is walking with us through each moment.
Our small contemplative prayer group meets on the first and third Tuesdays of each month, 2:30 p.m., at the vicarage. You are welcome to join us on any of our summer gathering dates: July 1st, July 15th, August 5th, and August 19th. No prior experience is necessary.
