Praying the Hours During Holy Week
Following the rhythm of the monastery, these brief prayers set for the eight “hours” of the day are a great way to mark and hallow the periods of the day with family, coworkers, and in solitude.
The Church offices will be closed Good Friday and Holy Saturday.
God Shots
A "God shot" is a special moment when someone feels that God is truly active and involved in their life. It’s often a time when something amazing happens, and people say, "That was a God Shot!"
We pray you feel God’s presence with you today. Be on the lookout for a God Shot!
God communicates with us every day, in big and small ways. A recent example of a God shot can be seen in our own church. This lovely amaryllis was meant to bloom in white. Instead, the blooms are brilliant red in the shape of a cross. That's a God Shot!
Many thanks to St. John's Altar Guild lead Dana Pitts for sharing these incredible photos with us!
