The Episcopal Church Women of All Saints will host a “Quiet Morning”, as part of the holy season of Lent. All parishioners, men and women, are welcome to attend this observance of prayer and meditation. Our own Deacon Debbie Scalia will lead the event offering common prayer and three meditations in the church.
Because of the current health limitations, this year’s Quiet Morning will follow COVID protocols with social distancing and masks worn indoors. Participants are asked to sign-in at the narthex table for the purpose of contact tracing. We will not be able to use the parish hall nor be able to serve food this year.
The Quiet Morning will begin at 9 a.m. in church with common prayer. Deacon Debbie will lead the meditations which will all take place in the church. After each meditation, “quiet time” will be observed for approximately 30 minutes. Participants may read, meditate in the church, or stroll the grounds in spiritual contemplation. Following the third meditation and quiet time, the event will conclude in church with corporate noon day prayers at 11:45 a.m.
We suggest participants bring their own snack bags and beverage from home if you choose. We will provide individual bottles of water. Participants can bring a folding chair from home to sit outside if the weather permits during the quiet times. The restroom in the church will be available. The ECW is pleased to be able to present this contemplative journey for you to foster your holy Lenten season.
