Missioner Monday: Wednesday Evening Prayer with The Episcopal Church of the Resurrection, Jessamine County and Fourteenth Sunday After Pentecost with Saint Raphael the Archangel Episcopal Church, Lexington.
It was a beautiful and calm evening with the small gathering of folks a Church of the Resurrection, led by transitional deacon the Rev. Anna Baumann, who prayed with the Evening Prayer service from the Season of Creation Lectionary. We lifted up many aspects of our world in prayer and listened to the word of God from Isaiah and the Psalms. It was lovely wind-down to the day, and they meet at 6pm on Wednesdays, if you are looking for a mid-week pause in your week.
Yesterday with the people of St. Raphael’s, we continued the movement through the Season of Creation Lectionary, and in between services I got to finally explore Tobit’s Trace at St Raphael Episcopal Church. Tobit’s Trace is a small trail put in behind the church to help with stormwater runoff, and ecological conversation. There were many bumblebees and a handful of hummingbirds, too! If you are near Lexington, I encourage you come explore Tobit’s Trace and reconnect with nature and give thanks to God for the ways in which we all depend upon each other.
