Join us for BKSM's inaugural Day of Prayer - Online
We invite all friends of BKSM: current students, alumni/-ae, faculty, Board members, staff and supporters, to join us on Saturday, August 1, for the inaugural Bishop Kemper School for Ministry Day of Prayer. We seek to take time from our busy lives to connect to the One who enlivens and instructs and sustains us as BKSM begins a new academic year.
In what we hope will become an annual tradition, we will gather to pray for the upcoming academic year: for new and returning students, faculty, the Board of Directors, the staff and our partner dioceses. Between times of gathered prayer, you are encouraged to spend some time in stillness before God or participate in a contemplative prayer experience.
Because of the ongoing pandemic, we will only be gathering via Zoom for this inaugural event. We hope to gather in person next year. We give great thanks that Zoom can connect us for this important time together. Please do register so that we know to expect you and can share any final details with you via email.
