Education and Formation
Compline, also known as Night Prayer, is a Christian service that takes place at the end of the day as a time of reflection and preparation for sleep. It is the final prayer of the canonical hours, a set of prayers said at fixed times. The word "compline" comes from the Latin word completorium, which means "completion".
Compline services typically include:
-
A confession of sins
-
A psalm or psalms
-
A short reading from the Bible
-
Versicles and responses
-
The Lord's Prayer
-
Collects that ask for God's protection during the night
Compline services may also include: A hymn for the evening, A time of silence, and Intercessions and thanksgivings.
Compline originated in the 6th century as a way for monks to transition from work to sleep.

In September, we began a new Bible Study in between services for a chance to reflect on some topics and use our self-reflection to help us understand themes found throughout the Bible.
Join Father Frank this Sunday between services as we have weekly reflections on the Bible and what it means for us now. It will be pulled from the episcopalchurch.org website as we search for deeper meanings and how to apply certain thoughts to our daily lives.
