About the event
Centering Prayer is a method of consenting to God's presence and action within. It prepares us to receive God’s gift of contemplative prayer, which is an opening of our hearts and minds to God beyond thoughts, words, and emotions. This prayer practice, rooted in the Christian contemplative heritage, helps us embrace the process of transformation in Christ.Â
This program is designed to share the method of Centering Prayer and offer support in making it a part of daily life. The workshop includes themes of Prayer as Relationship, The Method of Centering Prayer, Thoughts and Use of the Sacred Word, and Deepening Our Relationship with God, time in Centering Prayer and the opportunity to ask questions. Our presenters will be Ken Hatcher and Joanna Brunson, both whom are prayerful Contemplative Outreach presenters.
Continuing Sessions will be held at St. Julian’s Episcopal Church on Thursdays at 7:00 pm. These sessions will include Centering Prayer, video, discussion, and Q & A to deepen our understanding of the practice and to provide support in establishing a regular Centering Prayer practice.
We encourage those who are already practicing Centering Prayer and would like an in-person experience to attend. Your presence will greatly enrich the experience for those who are just beginning.Â
Light refreshments will be provided. Registration fee is $12.00.
COA is providing scholarships.Â
