Sunday Morning Prayer to End in July
Beginning next Sunday, July 7, St. John’s will no longer offer Morning Prayer at 7:40 a.m. on Sundays. Morning Prayer is a wonderful part of our Anglican worship tradition, but it was always intended, as part of the Daily Office, for daily use by individuals or communities like monastic communities or religious schools that meet daily for corporate prayer. The custom of parishes using Morning Prayer on Sundays has varied in form and frequency across time and in different areas. It does not seem to be meeting a broad need at St. John’s at this time.
