Prayer on an island

The Christian Science Monitor

On a tiny island off the coast of Maine, we were among the last tourists of the summer. Walking at dusk along a narrow road, we noticed people going into a small Christian church. "Is there an evening service of some sort?" I asked a woman in the parking lot.

"Oh, yes, we have a midweek meeting for singing together and praying. You are most welcome to join us."

And so we did. First there was hymn singing, members of the congregation—about ten people plus the organist—took turns suggesting which hymn to sing next.
