Modern Christians, striving to deal with busy lives and seeking a closer relationship with God, are attracted to the calming nature of contemplative prayer. Using silence and stillness, it leads us to the knowledge of God’s presence within us and helps us to experience “being with God.” Not meant to be a substitute for other forms of prayer, it can enrich and add deeper meaning to our prayer life.

Operation Love

In Touch Ministries
Congregation members provide one-on-one visits to congregation members and friends who have difficulty leaving their homes. This ministry keeps homebound members "in touch" with the rest of the congregation.

Prayer Shawl Ministry
Prayer Shawl Ministry provides shawls knitted by parishioners for parishioners. The shawls are given to persons who are seriously ill, have suffered a loss or are in the midst of a crisis. The intent of the shawl is to deliver a sense of God’s love and peace to the recipient.
