St. Mary's, Vegreville Hosts Lenten Quiet Day

St. Mary the Virgin Anglican Church in Vegreville held its annual Lenten Quiet Day on Saturday, April It was the parish’s first Lenten Quiet Day since 2019. A Quiet Day was to have been led by Bishop Jane Alexander in 2020 but was cancelled due to the pandemic. A total of five ladies joined Rev. Laureta in prayer, discussion and fellowship. The focus of the day was on prayer: of being willing, present, and open to not just praying to God, but also being willing, present, and open to listening to God. Following a brief presentation and discussion about prayer, the day was largely devoted to individual quiet prayer time. The ladies also shared in the eucharist and enjoyed a light lunch together.
