CENTERING
PRAYER
Thursdays 7:15 - 8:15 pm.
Join us for a quiet hour and learn a new way to pray.
Centering Prayer is a method
of silent prayer that prepares us to receive
the gift of contemplative prayer, prayer in which we
experience
God's presence within us, closer than breathing, closer
than thinking,
closer than consciousness itself.
