Quiet Days are scheduled once a month, usually on the second Saturday of the month, from 9:30am to 1:00pm in the Sanctuary. The morning consists of a three-part rhythm:

*a twenty-minute devotional talk on the theme of the day, followed by
*twenty minutes in which participants are on their own and can meander anywhere on the campus to reflect quietly on that theme, followed by
*twenty minutes of silent prayer in the sanctuary.

In their silent prayer, participants often practice Centering Prayer or some other form of Christian meditation/contemplation. For those who are not accustomed to contemplation, a reading room is provided where participants are invited to continue a more active and reflective prayer time. This three-part rhythm is repeated three times, and the day concludes with Holy Eucharist. Themes for Quiet Days are selected primarily from the Episcopal Liturgical Year, Scriptures, and prayer practices of the Christian contemplative tradition. All who seek a contemplative experience are welcome to join the days normally led by our Rector, Jim Clark. Email Ann Hott for more information.
