Seeing God’s Provision in the Planting Process

By Allison Kalteyer, member of the St. Patrick’s Dallas launch team My husband, Robert, and I have seen God’s grace, provision and faithfulness firsthand since being involved in the planting of St. Patrick’s Anglican Church in Dallas, Texas.

By Ryan and Melissa Flanagan, with Liturgical Folk. MATINS & VESPERS is a collection of eight new musical settings for Morning and Evening Prayer, liturgically known as Matins and Vespers.

Most mornings and evenings, gathering around the table for breakfast and dinner, we’d open our prayer…

I return to these classics again and again when I want tangible and practical steps I can take to focus and energize my prayer life. I also love the classic prayer tools: the Orthodox prayer rope for the Jesus Prayer, the Rosary…
