Join Rev. Elizabeth in the Church on Thursdays from 12:15-12:45 for a brief reflection, instruction, and 20-minutes of group Centering Prayer.
Centering Prayer is a Christian silent practice of releasing thoughts as they come, regardless of content, during a period of 20 minutes. The fruit of the practice is a deeper level of awareness of God’s indwelling presence, and spending time resting in that presence. This practice of ‘self-emptying’ (Philippians 2-11) aligns us with the self-emptying love that forms the core of Jesus’s own self-understanding and way of life.
No need to sign up. Please arrive on time in order to enter into silence as a group.
*Please note: Centering Prayer will not meet on May 7th.
