Weekly Centering Prayer Group
Now online, contact Kasey for the video conferencing link
Fridays, 9am-10am (Zoom room opens at 8:50 for visiting)
The Welcoming Prayer leads us into 20 minutes of silence followed by
meditative Scripture-reading (Lectio Divina) & every 3rd week, Visio Divina (meditating with art or photographs)
To begin a personal Centering Prayer practice,
Contemplative Outreach's app is available in Google Play and iTunes.
"Centering Prayer is a prayer practice that provides a time and space to come into the presence of God and just 'be.'
Although the power and presence of God is all around, it has helped me connect and understand the idea of having a
personal relationship with Jesus. It's a time to be present to God in silence and "abide with Him" as it says in John 15:4.
Centering Prayer is a way to rest in God. It calms my mind and soothes my soul and the best thing is - you can't do it wrong.
You just show up and God does the rest." - Marla
