End of the Month Examen
The prayer of Examen is a unique form of prayer that came out of the life of St Ignatius of Loyola (AD 1491-1556), the founder of the Society of Jesus- The Jesuit Order of priests as we know them today. Ignatius believed that this particular prayer was a gift directly from God, and was meant to be shared with and taught to as many people as possible. Christians through the centuries have discovered how this exercise can open us up to the awareness of God in our day, deepen intimacy with our Creator, and expand our understanding of Him in the details of our lives.
Join us as we invite the Holy Spirit to take us back over the month and shine His light on the events and circumstances He wants us to notice and doesn't want us to miss. This is an hour-long, guided Examen via Zoom on the last Sunday of each month, hosted by spiritual directors in our community. This is an ongoing offering and you are welcome to come as your schedule allows.

A Space For Lament
Lament is the ancient spiritual practice of worshiping God by bringing Him the parts of ourselves and our lives that are painful and grievous. Throughout scripture we watch the Patriarchs and Matriarchs of our faith lean into this practice with bold abandon. Through their prayers of Lament they experience a depth of trust and intimacy our own souls long for.
You are invited to a safe and supported space to explore the worship practice of Lament. We’ll be guided through a series of prompts to help coax out what the Spirit is inviting us to bring in prayer, and leave space for God to speak into our grief and pain as we are held in God’s love.
Date: Sunday, August 16th 2025
Time: 7:00-8:00 pm (ET)
Location: Zoom
Cost: Free
