Confession

This time will be set aside to participate in the lost spiritual practices of confession, repentance, and mourning. Spiritual directors and pastors will be available to hear your confession and pray with you. Or you can bring along a friend and practice confession with each other. There will be a time of corporate confession, as well as private time.

Prayer Ropes/Beads

This prayer practice is rooted in Orthodox, Catholic, and Episcopal traditions, and it has aided believers throughout the life of the Church. After a brief overview of the history of the development, use, and variations of prayer ropes/beads, you’ll be able to create your own. Then we’ll engage in prayer using our new prayer ropes/beads together.

Connect with God and deep spiritual truth through the elements of soil, fire, and water. Remember that from dust you were formed and to dust you shall return. Recall your baptism and be refreshed through water that gives life. Meditate on the transcendence of God through the mystery of fire.
