September Prayer Group Meeting
September Prayer Group — Beginning Again After Summer
Our Prayer Group returns on Thursday, September 17 as we begin a new season together and reflect on the question, “What do I carry forward?”
Join us in the Old Whalers’ Church Chapel at 9:30 AM for coffee and conversation, followed by our gathering at 10:00 AM. We’ll take time to reflect, share, listen, and pray together as we consider what we want to carry with us—and perhaps what we’re ready to leave behind—as summer gives way to fall.
Everyone is welcome, just as you are.
