We also have drop-in weekly Centering Prayer on Wednesday Mornings and Thursday evenings.
Centering Prayer is a gentle, silent method of consenting to God’s presence and healing action within us.
Based on rich Christian contemplative heritage, Centering Prayer offers us a way to be open to God. By taking time to “rest in God” each day, we open our awareness to the gift of God’s presence.
