Prayer Chapel — North Meeting Room B
We invite you to withdraw, as Christ did, to be still and become centered … to read, to pray, to listen, to “be still and know…” that God may bless with presence, speak with insight, and guide with a love not our own. Enter in silence. Pray alone, or with one of the intercessors who are in the Prayer Chapel when it is open.
The Prayer Chapel is open daily
June 15 through June 21 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on
June 22 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. |
