Prayer is not so much a way to find God as a way of resting in God… who loves us, who is near to us.
—Thomas Merton
Have you always wanted to develop a consistent prayer practice? Looking for a “time away” to deepen your relationship with God? Hoping to enter Advent with a renewed perspective on your faith?
Holy Communion Episcopal Church is hosting a morning of prayer on Saturday, November 11th. We are pulling from our staff and parishioners, as well as a national presenter to provide you with an opportunity to learn, pray, and practice several forms of prayer and reflection.
Sessions will include:
- An overview of Centering Prayer,
- An introduction to the Welcoming Prayer, and
- A chance to learn more about labyrinths and their value as a prayer practice
