Sacred Earth Evening Prayer: Starting Sunday October 9

On Sunday evenings Trinity usually celebrates Evensong or Taizé evensong. This fall other Sundays (Oct. 9, Oct. 23, Oct. 30, Nov. 20, Nov. 30, Dec. 11, Dec. 18) will feature "Sacred Earth" evening prayers, where the focus of prayer is to connect with nature.

Centuries old Christian traditions encouraged people to read the two "books" of God's revelation, one being the Bible, the second one being Creation, nature itself. During these "Sacred Earth" prayers we seek to encounter God as God reveals one self through the beauty and power of nature.

Some Sacred Earth evening prayers will be based on the rich tradition of Celtic Prayers. Other Sacred Earth evening prayers will be prayer "in the woods", whereby we gather outside.

The Celtic Prayer evenings will take place at the church on Sundays Oct. 9, Oct. 30, Nov. 20, Dec. 18.

On Oct. 23, Nov. 30, and Dec. 11 we will gather at the College Woods East Rock Park pavilion (location of our last picnic). [Link: https://www.google.com/maps/place/College+Woods:+East+Rock+Park/@41.3255445,-72.9117627,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xcf222d17c2d07b8e!8m2!3d41.3255445!4d-72.9117627 ]
