Anglican Prayer Bead-Making Event:

Prayer beads are a contemplative way of praying. They help us clear our minds and allow us to be still in God’s presence. The touching of the fingers on each successive bead is an aid in keeping our mind from wandering, and the rhythm of the prayers leads us more readily into stillness. 

The youth group will lead a short workshop on Sunday, March 9th, after the 8 am and 10 am services. All the supplies needed to design and make your prayer beads will be provided, including a pouch for your beads and a guidebook on ways to pray with your beads. Please sign-up under the butterfly window or email Becky at stmattsyouthgj@gmail.com if you can join us for this event. If you have beads or old necklaces you want to donate to this cause, please drop them off in Becky's office.

Wednesdays During Lent, 10:30-12:00

Facilitated by the Rev. Jan Head, Lyn Fraser, and Reenie Neal 

The series will provide a safe space and structure for exploring the challenges and rewards of aging within a spiritual context. Participants will explore topics such as dealing with loss, expressing our laments, finding gratitude in the midst of change, building resiliency, and maintaining forward momentum in our spiritual lives. We will consider (with some help from Mary Oliver) questions and beliefs about aging including how we pray, what we worry about, what we believe about death-dying-and the afterlife, whether we have to walk on our knees through the desert for a hundred miles repenting, and how we get our house ready for God when there are mice under the sink. Sessions will combine informative content with reflection, directed discussion, experiential exercises, and contemplative practice.
