Session Description
Evening prayer is a quiet service of light, psalms, scripture reading, and intercessory prayer. The service is centered around scripture-shaped, reflective meditation. Its quiet tone and focus on Christ-centered, everlasting peace is decidedly counter-cultural. This is spiritual refreshment for those who are spiritually thirsty.
This service can be celebrated either formally or informally, very simply or with greater complexity. The genius of the service lies in its simple, yet balanced structure: (1) gathering in Jesus' name, (2) Psalms, (3) scripture, and (4) prayer.
