June marks the 1st anniversary of Pray Without Ceasing at Mount Olive. We’ll continue to gather Monday nights, 5:30-6:00 pm. Through the summer, we’ll tend to the needs and hopes of the world, as well as to our leaders and the people most vulnerable right now. In these three months, we’ll stretch into a fresh, creative rhythm of prayer:

Week 1: Healing of creation, using a large floor map of the world
Week 2: Contemplative vigil readings with sung refrains
Week 3: Musical prayer with songs you know and love
Week 4: Scripture, singing, and petitioned prayers

You are welcome to drop in at any time and invite friends.
