Prayer is central to the life of any follower of Christ. The Apostle Paul instructs us to pray without ceasing. Jesus himself went out to a quiet place to pray. We follow in those footsteps. 

Morning Prayer: From Monday through Thursday at 9am we gather in the sanctuary for a time of opening ourselves to the Holy to begin our day. We usually sing a contemplative song, share a communion with God in silence for about 20 minutes then speak prayers for the larger communities to which we belong. It is a simple and powerful way to begin the day.

Centering Prayer: On Thursdays at noon we meet in our Session Room for a half hour of Centering Prayer. It is a wonderful part of our practice to draw our attention back to the Holy in the middle of the week and the middle of our day.

Lectio Divina: On the first and third Wednesdays of each month at 7pm we gather to listen to scripture at a depth. Come join us to listen in community for the Word of God speaking into the midst of your life.

Worship: It is one of our on-going practices to teach different ways of praying during our worship services on Sunday mornings at 9:45am. We have creative prayer responses (like journaling or writing a letter to God) as well as frequent Lectio Divina or Ignatian Prayer with Scripture to help us listen for God’s voice through scripture. 

Let us pray...
