Holden Prayer is brief thirty minute evening service with lots of singing, scripture, and reflective time. Come as you are, for some peaceful contemplation, at the end of your day.
Holden Village is a Lutheran (and quite welcoming of all) retreat center in the Cascades that started this lovely prayer service. Many of the hymns we sing in Sunday worship (green Gather hymnal) were written by Marty Haugen who once took a sabbatical in the Holden Village in 1986. He composed Holden Evening Prayer while he was there. Its a vespers (evening) service, that is now done in many many places. Years back (maybe eight years ago?) at Keystone, Melissa and Eric, who were serving as year long young-adult interns, began this practice, which we continue to cherish, as a shelter in what is all too often a season of too much scurrying.
Make a date to come breathe deeply with others at Keystone for any and all of these Wednesday evenings. Bring a friend! All ages welcome!
