LENTEN PRAYERS IN THE PARK(S) RETURNS
Last year we introduced a new Lenten Discipline we called ‘Prayers in the Park’ whereby one or more of us signed up to spend 20 minutes or so in Market Street Park each day during Lent reading scripture, praying, listening for God’s voice in the sounds of the city, and then jotting down our reflections about the experience. We will renew that discipline during Lent this year – but with a twist. While Market Street Park will remain our default location, some will be encouraged to "love the whole city" by taking this ministry of witness to alternate locations like Hinton Ave UMC, Downtown Mall, Belmont Park, Washington Park, and Ix Park. To sign up use this link.
