Prayer - Daily Offices

As I mentioned in the sermon on Feb. 25th, Kathleen Flood has come up with a way to observe the 7 offices of prayer during the day from the Benedictines in a way that is possible when you do not live in a monastery. The purpose of these is to bring us back into contact and conversation with God throughout the day. The Latin name for the office is followed by the times.  Click here for the 7 offices and the times.

You might try this out over Lent. Also you might try the empty chair that I mentioned. Let me know if either helps your prayer life.

Grace and peace,

Pastor Mike

Worship Services Times

• Our 8:00 am Worship uses a traditional liturgy with traditional hymns and music led by the Good News Choir to help us center our worship experience. Children are encouraged to participate in the Children's Church after the Children's Sermon during this service.
• Our 9:30 am Worship is more informal with the same hymns as the 8:15 and fewer parts of the regular United Methodist liturgy. This worship has a variety of musical styles led by our largest choir, The Chorale.
• Our 11:00 am Worship is a contemporary service experience led by a praise band singing lots of celebration music.
  

In all three services the sermon is based on the same scriptures with a slight variation in style. We hope you will find that one of these three services enhances your sense of God's presence as you worship.

The GAP (the Gathering At Parker)

A Young Adult Ministry for 20-30 Year Old Men and Women!

The GAP is a safe place for young adults to gather for open fellowship and discussion regardless of beliefs and values. It is a place in which we as young adults grow and guide one another in our spiritual journey. All are welcome to join us Sunday mornings for peer lead discussion and study at 9:30 am in Pastor Mike's Office (Rm. 205). Food and safe conversation is always provided. We also gather once a month for evening outs on the town, in which we just go an have some fun as a group of young adults.
