Save The Date for a Centering Prayer Workshop: Saturday, February 21 from 12:30-4:00 in the Robyn Room. Centering Prayer is a "prayer of the heart", a form of receptive silence to God's presence and transforming work in us. It is a deepening of one's open and loving relationship with the Lord, with oneself and with others. The workshop will address aspects of Centering Prayer that one might leave with confident understanding. Donation is optional to cover handouts and snacks.
To register, contact Sharon Highberger at 785-633-7764 or email: sharonhighb2@icloud.com.
