  • Lenten Devotionals -- In this year's season of Lent, we will be exploring the book "Inward Work for Outward Living." It is a book of daily readings that explore the ancient spiritual practice of examen that focuses on honest assessment and intimate reflection. With a different theme for each week of Lent, readers are invited to focus on the connection between internal contemplation and outward action. Each daily reflection will combine personal reflection with meditation, visualization and short prayers. The prayers can be used as mantras or breath prayers: breathe in praying the first phrase, breathe out praying the last. A Lenten Group will meet each Thursday evening at 7 p.m. on Zoom to discuss. Contact the church office for Zoom meeting information. rockvillepres1@verizon.net
