The next First Fridays
Recovery Eucharist will be on August 7 at 5:30 p.m. at Bruton Parish,
Williamsburg. Hosted by SpiritWorks Foundation, First Fridays is a
service with readings and prayers related to the theme of recovery and
is particularly appropriate for individuals and families healing from
addiction, co-dependence, mental illness, trauma, and abuse. Our
preacher and presider this month is the Rev. Lauren McDonald. All are
welcome to join us as we pray for healing and wholeness in the candlelit
sanctuary of Bruton Parish. Parking is available on Duke of Gloucester
Street during the service. For more information contact Lauren at
757-903-0000.
The Center for Spiritual Recovery, a SpiritWorks Foundation Community, continues to host Sundays@7 this summer. The purpose of Sundays@7 is to gather to bear witness to the disease of addiction in all its forms, to pray for healing and reconciliation, and to celebrate the joy of recovery. The service includes prayers, singing, drumming, silence, and scripture and recovery readings. Homemade ice cream follows during the fellowship time. All are welcome to join this intentional community as we pray for healing from addiction. The service will continue every Sunday evening until August 30 at 7 pm at the SpiritWorks Pavilion at 5800 Mooretown Rd. in Williamsburg. (We meet inside if there are heat advisories or storms!) Please contact the Rev. Lauren McDonald at 757-903-0000 for more information.
