MONTHLY SUNDAY COMPLINE

December 17, 2017, at 7:25 pm ET/6:25 pm Central

WORSHIP WITH LCG SISTERS AND BROTHERS

 An important element of the Cistercian life is regular participation in the Daily Office.  Come pray with LCG sisters and brothers at our monthly LIVE Compline service this Sunday.  At the same time as our monks are praying Compline at Gethsemani Abbey.  Twenty inspiring minutes to help close your day with our monks and LCG members and friends.  Haven’t tried videoconference??  Take courage!  Give it a try; as many of our members have found: Almost as good as being at Gethsemani Abbey.

 SOMETHING DIFFERENT:  You are encouraged to join at 6:25 pm for a brief intro, prayer, and words about contemplation and our lives as lay Cistercians.  Allen Thyssen (LCG Spiritus) moderates our time together and will offer an introductory reflection.  The program proper will include:

    Prelude – visit and background chant music; Welcome;

   Reflection by Allen Thyssen

   Prayer

   Compline – together we pray the Office with the Monks of Gethsemani using the Abbey video

   Depart to personal “grand silence” for the night
