The second Saturday of each month, we're trying an experiment in worship at an evening hour.  Our tradition has emerged from liberal Protestant Christianity, so our habit of thought when it comes to worship is all about Sunday mornings.  After hearing from several members of the congregation that they can't come on Sunday mornings, we decided to try a one-a-month alternative.  So we've had several services in the early evening with a tiny congregation that is still learning that this happens and still figuring out how to remember just when it happens.  So far, the people who have come are very pleased with the results.  It's basically the same service as the one for the next day, but it's in a different light, literally.  And it's very sweet. There's something about the light itself, something about the peace of the twilight of the day, something about the smaller congregation, that makes it a very different experience. We sing, we keep silence together, we share from our personal stories, and reflect together on the theme of the week, more or less in the same way as on Sunday morning, but it feels deeper. There are many things to learn from other religious traditions, and I've often wondered that so many Catholics prefer to worship on Saturday evening.  Now I understand.  Come join us on Saturday, January 12, at 5:00 PM, 669 Union Street, Manchester.
