Centering Prayer
Centering Prayer is a form of Christian silent prayer and meditation that can more deeply center us in the life of faith. Each session opens with the lectio--a Bible verse--which participants are invited to reflect on and discuss. A 20-minute period of contemplative prayer follows. The group meets for an hour beginning at 7 p.m. Tuesday via Zoom. All are welcome.

Perhaps you’ve seen that thick, red book in the pew racks and wondered, What’s that? Or perhaps you recognize it as the Book of Common Prayer and know it’s the source of our worship service that appears in each Sunday’s bulletin. But somehow that red book is a lot thicker than the Sunday bulletin. Or perhaps you own a copy but don’t know what’s all in it, the history behind it, or how it might be of use to you today. If you relate to any of these scenarios, then this series is for you, whether you’re just getting acquainted with The Episcopal Church or whether you’re looking for resources to enrich you walk with God.
Vicki Black provides a splendid introduction to the Book of Common Prayer, its history, its richness and beauty. She guides us through the variety of services – Morning and Evening Prayer, Compline, Eucharistic rites, baptism, confirmation, ordination – as well as resources for individual prayer. Come join us in exploring this wonderful resource. Please sign up in the Gathering Space or at the Adult Forum table during our St. Andrew’s Day celebration. The book is available for $17, payable to St. Andrew’s (memo: Adult Forum), or for $9.99 in the Kindle version on Amazon.
