Contemplative Worship Online
My hope for the church is to provide Simplified Liturgies for Contemplative Worship, so that those who gather, whether in person or virtually, may experience a deeper union with Christ.
Blessings to all,

Sandy, I listened to one of your videos and I sent it to a friend who is isolated in the country. Please see how much it meant to her. Thank you, Best wishes, David
From David's friend...
Dear David,
Thank you so much. I found [the contemplative service] very calming and very much liked the use of Taize music. And the fact that the readings were short and very apt. In fact, I liked it so much that I might listen to it again or indeed listen to others from the link.

"Sandy, Thank you this is beautiful.
I felt my self take a deep breath and relax after the first few poems.
What a gift. I love that you posted this on youtube.
It is so wonderful to hear the poet say her own words."
