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.
