Holy Awareness: An Intentional Time of Prayer in a Contemplative Setting is a new, weekly gathering held in Noel's parlor (located on the second floor near the Church Office) each Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 pm. The first meeting is planned for Wednesday, Oct. 7. All are welcome to attend and no formal RSVP is required.

Rev. Dr. Zehner describes Holy Awareness as "an intentional time with God" and an opportunity "for the Church to sink a little deeper into prayer in a quiet, contemplative setting." Meetings are expected to last 30-45 minutes. While the program has no set end date, it is expected to meet weekly for the foreseeable future.
