Wednesday Morning Ride and Devotions, Isanti, MN
St. Brendan's will he holding a "ride to devotions" every Wednesday morning from August 11th, until the snow flies. While the weather is temperate, we will meet in the main pavillion at Wayside Prairie County Park on Co. Rd. 10 (5 miles SW of Isanti, MN, and 10 miles N of St. Francis, MN) at 8:00 AM for a time of devotion and prayer. How you get there, and how far you ride are up to you, but the devotions will start at 8:00 AM. If the weather is lousy (pouring rain, thunder and lightning, heat index over 90 or blizzard and wind-chill below 30F, etc.) we will meet at the Rendezvous Coffee Shop in Isanti. We will be using Graham Cooke's "Qualities of a Spiritual Warrior" as our devotional study.
