“Be still and know that I am God.” - Psalm 46:10
Centering Prayer is a receptive, deep method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of the experience of God's presence within us. It presents ancient Christian teachings in an updated form. Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer; rather it casts new light on them. This method of prayer is a movement beyond conversation with Christ to communion with Christ. Through the regular practice of Centering Prayer, many people discover the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, self-control.
The Introduction to Centering Prayer Workshop will be on Saturday, November 18, 8:30 to 12 noon. The workshop will include two 20 minute Centering Prayer sessions as well as basic instruction on the method. Resources for incorporating the practice into daily life will also be provided.
