July 21, 2024 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

In small congregations, it helps your priest tremendously if a few lay persons are trained in how to lead Morning Prayer for when a priest is not available. At this training, the Rev. Marlene E. Forrest will teach lay leaders the basics of leading Morning Prayer. This training is intended to build basic skills and, if desired, be a foundation for further learning toward getting a license to be a Lay Worship Leader.
