A Prayer for Journey

from Pathways for Pilgrims, Iona

God of journey, as we travel on
alert us to things that matter
and open our eyes to every sign of your presence.
Give us a sense of direction,
or at least a sense of purpose,
a sense of wonder,
a sense that in everything
you are walking with us step by step
gently guiding us to the heart of things.

A message from George Abbot-Maze-

the year.

I am about to complete my 4th year in my class at St. John’s, Versailles. We have been meeting via Zoom.

be in early July. 

The 4-year curriculum is Year One: Old Testament, Year Two: New Testament,Year Three: History of the Church,

and Year Four: Development of Theology.

I invite you to consider joining a class this year.

The “journey is rewarding, fulfilling and new strong relationships develop amongst the class participants.
