Centering Prayer
Deepening Your Spiritual Journey: Centering Prayer
Centering Prayer continues to meet on Wednesdays at 3 pm. Beginning on Wednesday, October 18, the group will meet in the Zoom format only. Contact the office for Zoom login information. This group is interested in deepening spiritual understanding and engagement at St. Peter’s. Through Centering Prayer, group members cultivate ways to be closer to God amid our busy lives. We start by reverently reading a psalm from “Psalms for Praying: An Invitation to Wholeness” by Nan C. Merrill. using a time-honored spiritual practice called Lectio Divina. We then allow ourselves to be open to God’s presence by simply sitting quietly together – no special training or experience is needed. Following this, we discuss a book we are all reading, currently. We welcome new members and are always happy to review the Lectio Divina steps for newcomers.
