Be/Still

4th Tuesday of each month, 6:30-7:30pm, July 30, Aug 27, August 27, Sept 24, Oct 22, Nov 26

Be/Still is a monthly contemplative prayer gathering. Practicing contemplative prayer with others is wonderful in so many ways. It gives us a connection with others who desire to live a contemplative life and it also provides an opportunity for the accountability of being in the presence of others.

We will keep things simple with a brief orientation and then simply spend time in Centering Prayer with two periods of silent prayer. We will have an opportunity for debrief and sharing.

Location: Canaan in the Desert Prayer Garden, Chapel – 9849 N. 40th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85028

Soul Care Day: Listening to the Shepherd’s Voice

Thursday, August 29th, 9:00am-3:30pm

Shame and Glory: A Spiritual Formation Workshop

Led by Dr. Ted Wueste and Dr. Doug Kelley

Saturday, September 21st, 9:00am-3:30pm

When humanity was created by God, it was said that they were “naked and not ashamed.” Something changed. Today, we are often haunted by shame. What is shame? How do we recover a sense of our created design? This day will involve teaching and discussion as well as personal exercises for your growth.
