Waking Down to the Divine Presence

Contemplative Outreach Birmingham, The Commission on Spirituality of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama, and Metagem Institute will have “Waking Down to the Divine Presence”, Saturday, March 4, 2023, 9:00am – 3:00pm at St. Mary’s-On-The-Highlands Episcopal Church, Birmingham, AL. It will be led by The Rev. Mary Catherine Akamatsu

You’ve likely heard of spiritual awakenings, a waking up! What about a waking down? This waking down to the Divine Presence is another path or perhaps even the further path on the soul’s journey into God. Join us as we explore spiritual awakening in the concretized reality of everyday life. The 13th century Franciscan St. Bonaventure and the 19th century Carmelite St. Therese of Lisieux will be our spiritual guides. The day will be a mix of presentation, practice, and conversation.

The holidays are just around the corner, and PrimeTime Saints is getting into the spirit with a festive Pre-Holiday Potluck on Thursday, November 19th, at noon in the Parish Hall! Join us for an afternoon of delicious food, wonderful fellowship, and entertaining stories from a special storyteller. Bring your favorite holiday dish to share (enough to serve at least four people). The main course and beverages will be provided. We'll also collect a special love offering for our seminarian, Ethan Armistead, as a way to share our gratitude and support during this season of giving. Come hungry, bring a favorite holiday recipe, and enjoy a little early holiday cheer with your PrimeTime Saints friends. We look forward to celebrating with you!
