Whether you are passionate about prayer or timid in not knowing how to pray but want to understand it better, everybody is welcome! We'll use this hour to pray together and to pray on our own, learning something new about prayer while praying for our church and for our community. Come pray or just observe and be a silent participant. We'll meet by the fountain in front of the main church entrance and relocate to the lobby, if needed, due to weather.

Contemplative Prayer is a silent resting in God that opens our minds and hearts to the presence and action of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We will begin each of our sessions with a brief check-in followed by a contemplative prayer session. Then we will reflect on Scripture for the upcoming sermon to be given on Sunday in the style of Lectio Divina--Read, Reflect, Respond, Rest. 

There is no homework or workbook, but we recommend having your Bible and a journal on hand. No previous experience with contemplateve prayer is needed.
