Beloved Disciple Parish

Evening Prayer: Communal Evening Prayer began again this fall. If you are interested in joining other Parish members each Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 7pm for online prayer, please contact Deacon Owen in the Parish Office at ext. 110. You have to have an email address so a message can be sent on how to connect to the Zoom session. So please call.   If you are already part of our Evening Prayer Community, I already have your email address. Please join us, all are welcome. It generally is only a 20-to-25-minute prayer session.

Inviting you to scheduled Zoom meetings on Nov 4, 6 and 7 at 7pm

Parish Book Club Update:  Our next book is "All Good People Here" by Ashley Flowers. The book concerns a small town in the MidWest and asks the questions, What are your neighbors capable of when they think no one is watching? And everyone seems to be hiding something. Could the killer still be out there?  A mystery that looks interesting and calls us to think about judging people.  Our next meeting will be Wednesday November 14th at 11am in the Parish Library.  Please join us.  If you have questions or concerns contact Deacon Owen in the Parish Office at ext. 110.

Your input is important and is needed to help improve the mental health care of our youth. Please take a few minutes to fill out the anonymous survey @ https://forms.office.com
