Quiet day

Starts 6:00 PM Friday evening, 13 Nov. to 3:00 PM Saturday, 14 Nov.

You are invited to join us for our Quiet Day on starting Friday 13 through Saturday 14 November.

We're going to be exploring ways to use our quiet time with a specific focus on prayer.

We will start with a short introductory time on Friday evening and continue on Saturday.

We've built the program around 5 different concepts with a mix of activity, reflection and fellowship.

Fr. Tom, Christine and Harold each bring a different perspective to the theme of the day and these have been woven into the program.

1 Friday (6:00 PM)	· Embracing quiet reflection.
2 Saturday (9:00 AM)	· Guided Meditation
3 Saturday (11:00 AM)	· Using an Anglican Prayer Rosary
4 Saturday (1:15 PM)	· Tools of Prayer
5 Saturday (2:30 PM)	· Participatory Prayer

Prayer for the Day

Almighty God,
who built your Church upon the foundation
of the apostles and prophets,
with Jesus Christ himself as the chief cornerstone:
so join us together in unity of spirit by their doctrine,
that we may be made a holy temple acceptable to you;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

Simon and Jude, Apostles

A Prayer For Kids Who Feel Scared on Halloween

Jesus, I know Halloween can feel a little scary for the kids, and I ask You to bring Your peace into their hearts. Help them to remember that You are always with them, no matter what. When they see spooky costumes or decorations that make them feel afraid, remind them that You’re bigger than anything that seems scary. Wrap them up in Your love and keep them safe. Fill their minds with happy thoughts and help them enjoy the fun parts of tonight, knowing that Your light is always stronger than any darkness. In fact, bring to their minds Psalm 27, “The Lord is my place of safety. Why should I be afraid?” Thank You for watching over us, Lord. Amen.
