Centering Prayer
Centering Prayer Opportunities
Wednesday Evenings, 5:45 PM – 6:15 PM throughout the Year
Chapel of the Resurrection
All are welcome to participate in our gathering for silent prayer every Wednesday evening at 5:45 in the chapel. If you like to spend time in silence or meditation, even if you do not follow the Centering Prayer method, you are welcome to join in. This is a wonderful, restful way to begin the Center Wednesday evenings that include supper and classes.
Sunday evenings, 5:15 – 5:45 PM
A self-led time of silent prayer that can serve as a vestibule to the evening service.
