Greetings, friends, and Happy Easter!

As we move to a season to celebrate the newness of life in Christ’s resurrection, we will celebrate together through word, prayer, table, and community. Join us at 8pm at Hopwood CC on Milligan’s campus. As a reminder, next week’s liturgy will be the final service of the school year, and Compline will follow the liturgy both tonight and next week.

Peace to you all in Christ!

Adoration in Holy Week

by andrewshep74

Greetings, friends!

As we stand in the midst of this week marking Jesus’ last days of life and ministry before Easter, let us come together to hear the word proclaimed, to meet at the table, to wash each others’ feet, and to enter into the darkness that precedes Sunday. We will gather at Hopwood CC on Milligan’s campus at 8pm. As a reminder, there will be no Compline said at the conclusion of the liturgy tonight. Join us, and bring a friend to this powerful service.

Peace to you all in Christ!

Greetings, friends!

Tonight we gather at Hopwood on Milligan’s campus at 8pm for liturgies of Word and Table in the Fifth Week in Lent. As we plunge deeper into our Lenten observance and stand just one week before Holy Week, join us as we enter into these times of mystery together, guided by the Spirit and by each other in community. Compline will follow the service for the final time this semester.

Peace to you all in Christ!

Greetings, friends!

Tonight we gather to participate in, alongside our usual liturgies of Word and Table, a special liturgy of prayer and anointing for the sick and infirm in our community. Ministers from the Adoration community will be available to pray for and anoint those who might benefit from this sacrament. This work is a crucial part of who we are as a gathered group of Christians. Please, share the details of our gathering with those in your life who might be able to join us and receive these prayers for their health and healing.

Peace to you all in Christ!
