You are invited to join the Centering Prayer
Group on Tuesdays from 9:15-11:00 am. The Centering
Prayer group gathers in the Upper Room for silent
prayer and a short discussion of the works of
prominent teachers. In Centering, we are practicing
the core gesture of the Christian faith: total
surrender of ourselves into the hands of God.
Centering prayer is based on Christ’s injunction in
Matthew’s gospel to “go into your closet to pray”---
a process of retiring inward by shunning all
attention to the senses, in order to achieve an
awareness of God’s unceasing presence.
A Study of Jesus as the Universal
Teacher
Begins Tuesday, February 23
Join
us for the six Tuesdays of Lent as we explore the
hallmarks of Jesus’ teachings in the CD program
titled, Seeking Peace: A Dialogue on Jesus.
The teachings of Jesus are bridges that connect the
believers of many religious faiths. Learn with us
what Jesus taught about tolerance, the healing that
comes from forgiveness, non-violence, the “third
way” of thinking, unlocking the contemplative mind,
learning to “descend” instead of seeking worldly
status, and finally, a struggle with the question,
“Why did Jesus die”?
The dialogue takes place between two renowned
contemplative teachers, Benedictine Monk Laurence
Freeman and Franciscan Father Richard Rohr. You are
welcome to attend all or any of these programs, as
each program stands on its own with a valuable
insight.
Join us in centering prayer in the Education
Building, Upper Room, at 9:15 am every Tuesday in
Lent. We start with 20 minutes of silent prayer
followed by the 45-minute enrichment program that
ends by 11:00 am.
