 Tuesday Evening Centering Prayer Life Group:
This fall, our Tuesday Evening Life Group will continue our focus on Centering Prayer.
In Centering Prayer, our goal is to consent to God's presence and action within us. It's a modern form of Christian meditation, based on Christian writings from the third century all the way down to modern times. It's a way to help us take a step back from our constant mental commentary, and be open and present to God, who is always present within us. For more information on Centering Prayer, come join us for an evening, or see
https://www.contemplativeoutreach.org/category/category/centering-prayer .
We will also be discussing Richard Rohr's Daily Meditations, which are sure to lead to some great conversations! For more information on Richard Rohr, or to sign up to receive his meditations or read previous ones, please see
https://cac.org/ .
Our Tuesday group meets at
6:30 PM in the Annex basement. Our first gathering this fall will be on
Tuesday September 18 and we will meet for nine weeks ending on
Tuesday November 13. Please feel free to give us a try. There's no book to buy this quarter, and it will be easy to join in the conversation even if you can only attend occasionally.
