Julia and David will begin a discussion of dreams and allowing dreams to inspire our lives. Dreams are a great source of spiritual direction if we will honor and live with them.
We invite you to participate with us. We will discuss different formats of dream journaling, and you might want to start jotting down notes about your dreams prior to our first meeting. You will not be asked to share your dreams unless you so choose.
We anticipate this discussion will last 6-8 weeks.
Join us in person or via Zoom.

We will continue discussing the Prologue
and Chapter 1 next week, April 13
Contact Lori Hubbard with questions about the discussion.

Centering Prayer
Thursdays at 4:00
Fellowship Hall
Beyond Belief: The Secret Gospel of Thomas, Elaine Pagels
Or use any version of The Gospel of Thomas that you have
|
Centering Prayer is a way to remember to re-orient our lives. Centering prayer consists of two components:
1) Studying the process of Centering, and discussion of our reading for the week.
2) Spending twenty minutes divesting ourselves of ourselves - our thoughts, feelings, and busyness. This whole process is a self-reminder in all of life to be centered in the awareness of the presence of the Holy.
