Evening Prayer
There is something so right about gathering in the darkness and singing to the Light that never fades, lifting our voices in psalms and hymns, hearing the Word and its preaching and joining in Mary's song and the litany. Peace enters the heart. The silences. The joy. The intercessions. I am so thankful for a parish that loves Evening Prayer.

Last night we had Compline, which I presume is similar to Evening Prayer. A most beautiful setting now that it is dark by 6:00 and the chapel is dimmly lit.
It's funny...while I easily make excuses not to take the time to exercise, even though it makes me feel better, when it comes to corporate worship, I can't imagine not taking the time to go. It's like a shower for my soul...being cleaned up after a day out in the world.
