A day to bring more focus and intentionality to our lives of worship and prayer. For those seeking to revitalize their communal worship and their personal prayer. Pottery and the act of moulding and being moulded will be our guiding symbol for the activity of prayer. 

Adopting a retreat-like pace, we will gather for worship drawing on new resources such as Pray without Ceasing (the newly printed Morning and Evening Prayer of the Anglican Church of Canada), and Sing a New Creation (the new hymnal supplement of the ACC).

During the day we will have two series of prayer workshops that you can choose two to attend including:

  • Praying Outside
  • Praying for Healing
  • Praying the Psalms
  • Praying with Youth
  • Praying without Words
  • Praying with Song

All workshops will follow a similar format of teaching, practicing, and reflecting. You will come away with an experience of prayer and also the tools to share and teach that form of prayer to others.

Lunch will be provided.

Following our worship at mid-day, we will engage in the ancient process of mystagogy - a simple guided way to reflect on one's experience of a liturgy. This is a form of spiritual formation the early church used to embed and develop Christian living through the worshipping life of the whole community. Again, you will come away with the ability to share this practice in your small group, parish or congregation.

At the end of the day we will have opportunity to reflect and process the day together, discerning what our next steps might be to grow in our own prayer life and to nurture the prayer and worship of those whom we journey alongside.
