St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 335 Locust Street, downtown Johnstown, PA is hosting an Advent Quiet Day in-person and via Zoom on Saturday, December 4, 2021 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
A quiet day is a period of respite when time is set aside to be quiet, spend time with God and refresh your spirit for the days ahead. The theme of our 2021 Advent Quiet Day is “The Four Themes of Advent.”
The event will consist of alternating periods of meditation and quiet time followed by final prayers and a vegetarian lunch. During quiet time, in-person participants can go to the parish hall, where there will be a collection of books and relaxation activities available or find a quiet spot in the church or offices to read and/or meditate. Online participants should consider the quiet times as sabbath time and be as quiet as possible. Participants are asked not to talk until after the final prayers.
The event is free. All are welcome.
If you plan to attend in-person, please wear a mask and social distance. If you wish to participate via Zoom, please contact the Rev. Nancy Threadgill at revnancy-stmarks@atlanticbbn.net or (814) 535-6797 in advance of the event to obtain login information.
