Get READY! Get SET! BE QUIET!?
Saturday, February 4, 9:30 AM
- 12:30 PM
If the idea of a morning of total silence sounds appealing, please join the Daughters of the King on Saturday, February 4,
9:30 - 12:30.
We'll gather in Tyler Hall and get an overview of the morning. Fr. Muir will guide us with readings followed by intervals of quiet. During each interval, you may go anywhere on the church campus to reflect, pray, meditate, journal, contemplate...all while keeping completely quiet.
You'll need to bring a brown bag lunch and your own "tools" used for prayer or meditation such as your bible, BCP, journal, hammock, comfy outdoor chair...whatever you'd like, except your voice!
All are welcome, but please let us know if you'd like to join us by contacting Suzanne Pursley-Crotteau or calling Suzanne at 706-359-4480 before February 1
