We welcome Grace, Virgil, and Stephan!

Last night, at our second meeting, we welcome three more friends to our community--now totally ten! From comments heard during our discussion on the history of the Daily Office and after we came together before God in Evening Prayer, one got the impression that everything went well. The coffee was good, our sharing sincere, and our use of the Daily Office strengthened and made more sure. Several indicated that they'd like to own a personal copy of Robert Benson's Daily Prayer: A Little Book for Saying the Daily Office. But by far, the most wonderful gift of the evening--right after the Presence of Our Lord among us--was the advent of three new Christian friends: Grace Gutekunst, Virgil Brewer, and Stephan Locke. Their coming helped us achieve a sort of "critical mass" in our conversations and later in praying Vespers. So to give us a more complete overview of our community, here is an updated list of those who have been with us one or more times so far:
Our next meeting will be at First Presbyterian Church, Main Street, Richmond, KY, February 1 (Thursday) at 7:00 p.m. The topic for discussion is "The Place of Scripture in Daily Prayer/Offices." Bring your Bibles.

Inasmuch as Virgil and Fr. Birch have indicated that they will not be able to be with us at our next meeting, please remember each of them by name in your Morning and Evening prayers and pray God's blessings upon them as we await their return.

And by the way! Be sure to visit ComplineNYC, an exceptionally beautiful and sacred webspace dedicated to the office of Night Prayer, a website maintained in large measure by Virgil and his son Oliver.
