SUMMARY:Prayer without Words
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Wednesday mornings in the Well. \nA form of mental prayer in which meditation and petition give way to quiet adoration of the mysteries of God. Contemplation is the fruit of divine grace. It comes after a period of recollection and self-abandonment. Daily concerns vanish and exclusive attention is given to the mysteries of the Trinity\, the Incarnation\, and Redemption. Active imagination gives way to waiting and listening. God is sought and found within the self as divine dwelling-place. The contemplative way may lead through phases of spiritual dryness\, often called “nights.” Its summit is conscious participation in the very life of God\, metaphorically called the state of “spiritual marriage.” Forms of contemplation are found in all great religions. It is described in the Upanishads and by the sûfîs of Islam. The experience of contemplation does not guarantee the orthodoxy of its expression. Yet the great Christian contemplatives remain within the parameters of faith as their experience rests upon the mediation of Christ and is nurtured by the gifts of the Spirit. While contemplation is not experienced by all believers\, it may be desired by all\, and such a desire is already God’s grace.

SUMMARY:Women's Bible Study
DESCRIPTION:The Bible study will include a discussion from the Gospel lesson from the upcoming Sunday using a one-page Synthesis guide.

SUMMARY:Maundy Thursday
DESCRIPTION:Maundy Thursday is a significant day in the Episcopal Church\, marking the institution of the Eucharist by Jesus Christ. \nThe day is celebrated with a ceremony of washing feet\, which symbolizes the love and service that Jesus demonstrated to his disciples. The service includes a gospel reading\, homily\, and the washing of the feet\, followed by the stripping of the altar\, which is a tradition that reflects the bareness of the altar on Good Friday. The liturgy for Maundy Thursday provides for the celebration of the Eucharist and the washing of feet\, which follows the gospel and homily. The altar is stripped and all decorative furnishings are removed from the church\, creating a stark and reflective atmosphere for the worship service.
