Worship With LCG Sisters and Brothers on November 19, 2017

MONTHLY SUNDAY COMPLINE

November 19, 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.  We will pray 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 for a brief intro, prayer, and words about contemplation and our lives as lay Cistercians.  Allen Thyssen (LCG Spiritus) moderates our time together and LCG Coordinator, Nancy Sparrow, will offer an introductory reflection.  The program proper will include:

  • Prelude – visit and background chant music; Welcome;
  • Reflection by Nancy Sparrow
  • Prayer
  • Compline – together we pray the Office with the Monks of Gethsemani using the Abbey video
  • Depart to personal “grand silence” for the night

NOT COMPLICATED:  join and view with your colleagues in prayer at this liturgical hour. Several of our LCG communities regularly use Zoom for their monthly and special meetings—they share because they easily see and hear each other.  They find Zoom affords a closeness and intimacy conducive to our journey of the spirit.

NB: you can use Zoom via telephone as well.

DON’T HAVE THE ZOOM APP? IT’S FREE!  EASILY DOWNLOAD THE ZOOM APP: Click the meeting identifier above; if not already a Zoom user you will be asked to download the Zoom app (takes about two minutes.)  You will find what other LCG members have found: a good way of connecting with sisters and brothers to better share our Cistercian life of the spirit.  Several of our LCG communities have successfully used Zoom—a videoconference application that you can quickly download on your computer or smartphone.
