Series, Recurring & On-Demand Events
The Gayton Kirk Midday Prayer in the Spirit of Taizé
Wednesdays, 12:30-1 p.m.
The Gayton Kirk
Midday prayer in the spirit of Taizé centers on singing, prayer, readings from the Bible, and periods of silence. Simple songs are sung in a repetitive manner to aid the worshiper in obtaining a meditative mood. Taizé worship does not incorporate a sermon or Holy Communion. It is candle-lit and contemplative, creating a quiet space for reflection and communion with God and one another.
All are welcome.

Lectio Divina
Mondays, 7:30-8:30 p.m.
Zoom via First Presbyterian Church, Charlottesville
Lectio Divina is a spiritual practice of scripture reading that involves both meditation and prayer. It promotes a time of communion with God and an ability to increase our knowledge of God's word. Traditionally Lectio has four separate steps: reading, meditating, praying, and contemplating. Each time the scripture is read, the group reflects upon its meaning which is then followed by prayer and contemplation on the Word of God. Contact Debbie Rexrode for the Zoom link.
