Stretch and Pray (A Daily Discipline for Physical and Spiritual Wellness) created by Bishop Murray Fink, will be offered from 6:15 a.m. — 6:45 a.m. on Friday and Saturday mornings. Join facilitator Rebecca Westfield, and start your day with some low-impact stretching and high impact prayer. 

Each new posture, stretch or exercise will be demonstrated. Our time together will end with six prayer postures — adoration, confession, absolution, petition, intercession and contemplation. 

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that are easy to move in. Also, some of the stretches and prayer poses will be done on the floor (please bring a towel or mat if you wish).
