Regular Events
Our Sunday morning gathering at 10:30 AM Central time is a hybrid soulcare event; you can participate either in person or by Zoom, as you prefer. We share our joys, hear a reading, watch a presentation, and pray together. Our pastor, Rev. Dr. Adam Webber, usually leads the gathering and does the presentation.
For information on how to connect by Zoom, please email pastor@openprairie.org.
Wednesday mornings, we host a half hour of contemplative prayer in our sanctuary, 8:30 to 9:00. It’s great way to start your day in the middle of the week: come as you are and go in peace.
