Centering Prayer Introductory Program Sat., Nov. 21, 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Contemplative prayer has been a part of our Christian heritage for centuries. If we are open to the gift of contemplation it may profoundly affect our daily life. The Centering Prayer Introductory Program serves to teach and practice the gift of contemplative prayer. During our time together, you will discover the meaning of Psalm 46: “Be still and know that I am God.”
