Each month, a team of coordinators work together to develop the theme for the upcoming prayer service. Presenters from different faith traditions are asked to share from their hearts and faith tradition a prayer, song, poem, chant, or reading from their sacred texts that relates to the monthly theme. Each prayer service has at least eight different faith traditions represented. We have dedicated a few months to specific themes.
These services are taped by Community Television Channel 29 and aired on Sundays at 6 p.m.* *
Some months are dedicated to specific themes (see below) and other months have unique themes chosen by the program coordinators for that month.
May's Service features presentations from the youth (18 or younger) of many of the faith traditions represented in our community and is a tribute to all mothers, Mother Earth, and the Creator.
September's Service is coordinated by the entire Board of Directors with a focus on unity.
October's Service is centered around sacred sounds from each presenter's faith tradition.
November's Service is organized around the theme of gratitude.
December's Service is usually a celebration of coming from darkness into light.
