This interfaith Centering Prayer Group meets in our Parish Hall and on Zoom the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month at 9:00 a.m. until about 10:30 a.m. No meetings are scheduled during June, July or August.
Time together typically consists of one twenty-minute silent prayer period (Centering Prayer), followed by faith sharing on a selected topic from a book, video, or other spiritual resource. Our group studies come from a Christian perspective, and anyone is welcome to attend, including beginners and those acquainted with other meditative practices. The morning agenda follows this schedule: 8:45 Fellowship 9:00 Centering Prayer * 9:30 Topic for discussion and faith sharing 10:30 Closing (* When Centering Prayer begins at 9:00 a.m. the doors to the Parish Hall will close. Chairs will have been placed on the stairway landing for those coming late. When Centering Prayer has ended, doors will open at 9:30 to admit those who may be waiting.) Please see the Centering Prayer Group Calendar, on this page, for current topics of study. Please review the Faith Sharing Guidelines.

The Vision
of Contemplative Outreach by Thomas Keating Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. Luke 10:27 We embrace the process of transformation in Christ, both in ourselves and in others, through the practice of Centering Prayer. +++ "Contemplative Prayer is the world in which God can do anything. To move into that realm is the greatest adventure. It is to be open to the Infinite and hence to infinite possibilities. Our private, self-made worlds come to an end; a new world appears within and around us and the impossible becomes an everyday experience." Open Mind, Open Heart, Thomas Keating |
