Introduction to Centering Prayer

Saturday, October 19, 2024

9:30 am to 1:00 pm

There is, in all of us, an inherent desire to know God, to know ourselves, and to know why we are here. In our search for God, many of us have found the ancient Christian practice of centering prayer to be of great help. In the silence of the prayer, we intend to open ourselves to the Holy Spirit’s transformative action in our minds and hearts. The practice of centering prayer is at the heart of all our contemplative living ministries at Saint Barnabas.

The Centering Prayer method is taught at Saint Barnabas in a program consisting of an all-day Saturday workshop conducted by Debbie Moore. These programs are ecumenical in nature and anyone who is interested in this method of prayer is welcome to register to attend. 

This Intro Workshop is followed by five evening sessions to provide continued training in this method of prayer. In addition, everyone is encouraged to participate in one of the weekly Centering Prayer groups.

This program is free. There will be a lunch break so please bring a lunch. Refrigeration is available.
