edge of the porch: Come Close

Find a quiet spot. Sit for these few moments and soak in the sounds and sights here. More than words this morning...

Brewing Ideas--want to join in?

An art network that would create a way for numerous artists to work collaboratively on ventures to share truth in creative ways in our community or yours.
24/7 prayer room: We want to see a place in Mansfield that is open for prayer around the clock, every day, all year long. It would have space for artwork and for responsive writings.
Easter Vigil: A yearly event that runs 24/7 for the entire week between Palm Sunday and dawn on Easter. Five or six rooms are set up in the church with artwork, readings, arranged items, and music playing on a loop. We began small in 2002 and now have over 400 visitors coming each year to go through the rooms (at their own pace) for contemplation and to pray. (Seminars available if you'd like some help in getting one started in your community.)
