Lenten Prayer Beads Workshop

Join the Front Porch for our second Lenten Prayer Beads Workshop featuring Marcy Muldrow Sanders!

Anglican Prayer Beads are a relatively new form of prayer, blending the Orthodox Jesus Prayer Rope and the Roman Catholic Rosary. The thirty-three bead design was created by the Rev. Lynn Bauman in the mid-1980s, through the prayerful exploration and discovery of a contemplative prayer group.

The use of the rosary of prayer beads helps to bring us into contemplative or meditative prayer – really thinking about and being mindful of praying, while we pray, of being in the presence of God – by use of mind, body, and spirit. The touching of the fingers on each successive bead is an aid in keeping our mind from wandering, and the rhythm of the prayers leads us more readily into stillness.

Join us Saturday, March 15, 10 AM – 12 PM, in Alfriend Hall to make your very own Anglican Prayer Beads. A registration fee of $15 is requested to cover a book and prayer bead supply costs. Consider adding using prayer beads to your Lenten prayer practice. All are welcome!

(Confidential scholarships are available upon request.)
