Holden Evening Prayer for Lent

Holden Evening Prayer for Lent

Continuing until March 25th

Once again this year our Anglican Parish of the Valley is partnering with St. Timothy's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Pembroke to hold Holden Evening Prayer services during the Season of Lent.

Continuing each Wedensday evening at 7pm at St. Timothy's (503 Alfred Street, Pembroke) until March 25th, these are wonderful contemplative opportunities to gather on Wednesday evenings for approximately 30 minutes of prayer and song. These final three services will be Holden Evening Prayer. The Parish of the Valley Clergy Team and Pastor Bruce Thompson from St. Timothy's will be sharing in the leadership of each service and we will enjoy fellowship following the service.

All are welcome and invited!
