Step away from the noise of everyday life and enter a gentle, prayerful space this Lent. On Saturday, March 14, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., the St. John Chapter of the Daughters of the King invites you to a Lenten Quiet Day—a morning set apart for rest, reflection, and renewal.
All are welcome to shape the morning in the way that best meets your spirit. You may take part in guided offerings, or simply come and sit in stillness for a few minutes—or the whole morning.
Offerings include:
- Anglican Prayer Beads Workshop
Led by Marcy Muldrow Sanders, this hands-on workshop introduces the ancient practice of prayer beads as a gentle tool for contemplative prayer. Participants will create their own set of prayer beads to use throughout Lent.
(Registration required; 60 spaces available, $15 cost for supplies.) - Reading Room
Browse a selection of books on contemplative and prayer practices, and spend time learning at your own pace. - Quiet prayer in our gardens
Weather permitting, you are invited to spend time in Eve’s Garden, Messer Garden, or the Memorial Garden for personal prayer and reflection. - Carter Chapel open for silent prayer
The chapel will be open all morning for anyone wishing to sit in reflective silence and prayer. You may come after your workshop, or simply come as you are. As Jesus says to his disciples, “Come away with me and rest.”
We will close our time together with an instructed Holy Eucharist with Fr. Lonnie Lacy.
Whether you stay for the entire morning or arrive for just a few quiet moments, this Lenten Quiet Day is offered as a gentle space to listen for God and tend to your spiritual life—just as you are, and where you are.
A full schedule will be shared soon.
