Centering Prayer Meditation

“Be still and know that I am God.”
(Psalm 46:10)

 

Are you interested in learning how to quiet your mind and how to become more centered in your daily life?

“Centering Prayer Meditation is a simple method of meditation, traditionally called contemplative prayer in Christianity. Contemplative Prayer is the opening of mind and heart – our whole being – to God, the Ultimate Mystery, beyond thoughts, words and emotions. The practice can offer a way to the rest in divine, calm and clarity to these hectic and pressure of daily life.”

We invite you to join one of our regular weekly online meditation practice sessions. All are free. Beginners are welcome! Check the church calendar for the schedule.

This meditation is a regular group practice in Centering Prayer. We meet virtually on Tuesday mornings at 9:30 am.  Beginners are welcome.

Centering prayer is a method of prayer which prepares us to experience God’s presence within us.  This practice is traditionally called contemplative prayer. It is the opening of the mind and heart—of one’s whole being—to God, beyond thoughts, words and emotions.

Centering prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer, but rather, it teaches a receptive method of resting in God, of being in a personal relationship with God.
