Communal All are invited to attend and participate in the monthly Prayers on the Porch, held on the second Tuesday of every month at a variety of locations within Atlantic Highlands.
On Tuesday, September 9, Prayers on the Porch will be held at 6:30 at Veteran’s Park, First Avenue, opposite Borough Hall.
The neighborhood tradition, which was started by former Mayor Loretta Gluckstein more than four years ago, is an opportunity for people of all religious to get together with their neighbors and friends for 30 minutes of prayer.
Since it started, the group has met on a variety of residential porches, church yards and back yards, with some bringing their own lawn chairs, others standing for the brief get together.
“We thought it would be particularly special to have the September Prayers on the Porch at Veterans Park,” Gluckstein said, “and we will all be sharing special prayers for all those killed on September 11, 2001.”
Neighbors are invited to join in silent prayer or offering thoughts or prayers for particular people or causes. “It’s all very casual, it never lasts more than half an hour, and it gives neighbors the chance to join in each other’s prayers,” Gluckstein said, in noting the popularity of the monthly program. “We invite everyone to stop in and see why we have been doing this for these past years.”
The next Prayers on the Porch will be at Veteran’s Park across from borough hall, Tuesday September 9th at 6:30 pm Hope you can make it .
