Holden Evening Prayer at St. Gabriel, Portland
December 21 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Join us at St. Gabriel for Holden Evening Prayer!
Holden Village is a retreat center for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), located off of Lake Chelan, Washington. The village was built from the remains of a former copper mine work camp which was donated to the Lutheran Church in 1961. Holden Village operates year round spiritual retreats to people of all faiths to this day.
Composer Marty Haugen wrote Holden Evening Prayer during a stay at Holden Village in 1986. It has since become a favorite prayer service in the Lutheran Church, especially during the season of Advent.
The themes of Jesus the light of the world overcoming darkness are especially comforting during the darkness and depression of winter. We invite you to join us at St Gabriel Saturdays at 6:30 pm during the month of December.
