Learning objectives -- participants will:

Our church's deepest and strongest roots are found in daily common prayer.  The Book of Common Prayer  contains a variety of daily prayer services for both private or public  use, but few Episcopalians today are comfortable with how to pray these prayers solo or in community (in whatever form it presently takes). Praying Together offers tutorials about prayer and our prayer tradition so that everyone may learn how to pray the daily prayers of our church, giving their attention and intention to God's presence in the community of common prayer.

Contact Fr. Jenkins if you would like to request instruction about a particular daily prayer service or at a particular time.
