St. George's Saturday Morning Study is led by Sue Jennings, a long time parishioner and our current parish treasurer.
We will study the new book by Tish Harrison Warren, Prayer in the Night for Those Who Work or Watch or Weep.
How can we trust God in the dark?
Framed around a nighttime prayer of Compline, Tish Harrison Warren, author of Liturgy of the Ordinary, explores themes of human vulnerability, suffering, and God's seeming absence. When she navigated a time of doubt and loss, the prayer was grounding for her. She writes that practices of prayer "gave words to my anxiety and grief and allowed me to reencounter the doctrines of the church not as tidy little antidotes for pain, but as a light in darkness, as good news."
Where do we find comfort when we lie awake worrying or weeping in the night? This book offers a prayerful and frank approach to the difficulties in our ordinary lives at work, at home, and in a world filled with uncertainty.
Books are available for pick up at the study.
We will meet at St. George's at 9:00 am on the second and fourth Saturday morning of each month (see schedule below).
Our group will coincide with St. George's men's group, so bring your husbands.
Complimentary childcare is provided: please RSVP to Fr. Barkalow if you plan to bring children.
