Psalter Group for Great Lent

Before Advent we began a Psalter group where each of us read a different kathisma every day and together the entire Psalter was being read. Each night we were united in prayer and it was such a wonderful thing (you say a prayer for each person reading in your group). With Great Lent around the corner I wanted to see if anyone was interested in doing this again.I know some of you emailed me last time because you missed a night here or there or everywhere ;) and you are the ones I want to see signed up first! It took me several times of doing this before I was able to keep up with my readings too. There are still times when I read two or three in one night because I missed them. I do always try to at least read the names and pray for the other members of our group. Prayer is a struggle and this is no exception. The evil one makes war with us when we pray and it is said the prayers of the Psalter are so strong that the demons flee as soon as the book is opened to be read. We need to struggle together! So don't give up, keep trying!We had great success last time, we had so many participants that the Psalter was read in its entirety almost three times a day! That's such a blessing for everyone involved!So please sign up below if you are interested in joining us in the readings for the duration of Lent.**UPDATE: PLEASE BE SURE TO LEAVE YOUR BAPTISMAL NAME AND EMAIL ADDRESS! THANK YOU!
