Prayer Around the Cross
| PRAYER AROUND THE CROSS We invite you to create for yourself a peaceful, candlelit space, and to join us for our Prayer Around the Cross service. This contemplative service of evening prayer is a 30-minute liturgy, adapted from Singing our Prayer: Holden Prayer Around the Cross by Susan Briehl and Tom Witt. It includes Scripture, Jan Richardson poetry, and simple songs that bring us together for a time and place of quiet reflection. Together, we’ll pray together for the healing of the nations and the healing of creation. Together, we’ll embrace the darkness and take time to acknowledge tears, fears, grief, and longings. Together we’ll embrace the quiet to invite a deeper connection with God. We hope you’ll take this opportunity to turn off the noise, light a candle, and be with us in community as we lay our thoughts, burdens, and concerns before God, with a focus on the cross of Christ and God’s redeeming love for the world. |
