To access the Morning and/or Evening Prayer for the day from this website sponsored by Mission St. Claire in California, click on the calendar, Calendar for this month, choose morning or evening for the day, and a list will appear to lead you through the Rite you have selected. The online list contains the entire version possible of each office; for the busy people out there, you may have to read just one of the texts and pray just one of the prayers for each day! |

| Valle Crucis Conference Center - Groups come to Valle Crucis, N.C. for spiritual and personal renewal, for ski retreats and youth camps, for family reunions, and to meet and plan without the distractions of their usual work environment. Groups can explore the 448 acres of lush wooded mountain and open valley land, with its bold rushing streams and waterfalls, or can enjoy perhaps an old-time square dance in the historic Apple Barn. The most popular pasttime at Valle Crucis is simply sitting in a rocker on one of the porches overlooking the pristine valley that has come to symbolize the sacred ground of Valle Crucis. |
