Join us for one of our ongoing contemplative prayer offerings.
Be/Still
Be/Still is our monthly contemplative prayer gathering. Our goal is for it to be a shared time in quiet and listening. We’re excited for some new changes to be/still this fall. As we enter into this space there will be a reflection on the book about contemplative prayer “Into the Silent Land” by Martin Laird. It is not required that you read the book, however it could be helpful. Then we will spend some time practicing contemplative prayer and after that we will spend time listening to one another and praying for one another. The time of our gathering will be approximately 75 minutes.
simple silence
Simple Silence is our monthly contemplative prayer gathering. Our goal is for it to be a shared time in quiet and listening. So, as you enter the time, you will be invited to quiet your heart and be present to God’s presence with you. We will have a short reading/quiet meditation on Scripture followed by a 20 minute time of Centering Prayer. At the end, we will leave the space quietly and bless one another as we go. Our heart for Simple Silence is to offer space that is free from conversation in the chapel, allowing us to enter and leave in a quiet, contemplative way, carrying the peaceful silence of God’s presence with us as we go.. The time of our gathering will be approximately 30-45 minutes.
