The contemplative/centering prayer group meets every Thursday morning, 7-8 am, over Zoom.  What do we do there?

We sit in silence, for about 25 minutes.  Some of us practice Centering Prayer, some use other forms of silent meditation. All forms are welcome, but if you need some guidance in a meditation practice, we are happy to help.  We hear inspiration from writers and poets who words are open-hearted, encouraging and sometimes challenging.  We listen, in the silence, to small parts of scripture, listening for how it applies to our own lives.  We share ‘prayers of the people’ and hold all prayers not only in confidence but also before God.  The whole session lasts until about 8 AM, but it’s easy to slip out after the silent meditation if one needs to.  This group has been meeting continuously since 2000; it is open to all and we would love to have you join us.

We currently meet on Zoom. Please contact Jean at jwoessner “at” bigsky.net for meeting information.

Our God calls us to love, to seek justice, to be peacemakers, to care for all creation.  None of this outer action happens without inner transformation and support.  One place where inner change happens is your heart and one pathway to that change is contemplative or centering prayer.
