Fall Day of Prayer:

“Imitating Christ: Spiritual Thoughts and Practice”

During this Day of Prayer, Deacon Courtney will use reflections from the spiritual classic The Imitation of Christ by Thomas a’ Kempis, a medieval Dutch monk and priest. The Imitation is scriptural and totally Christ-centered.

Bob Stone with ministry at St. Stephen’s Church, Stephen, and St. Rose Church, Argyle. Deacon Courtney was ordained to the permanent diaconate for the Diocese of Crookston in the year 2000.
