Centering Prayer Introductory Workshop

July 8, 2023.       9am – 12:30pm

Sponsored by Nebraska Contemplative Outreach

First Covenant Church * 2 blocks south of Dodge on 90th St.

Centering Prayer is a response to the invitation “Be still and know that I am God.”  (Psalm 46:10)  It is a way to give our consent to the presence and transforming grace of the Divine Dwelling in silence beyond thoughts, words and emotions.   Centering Prayer is grounded in the contemplative heritage of the Christian tradition and based on the Jesus’ teaching from Matthew 6:6:

                 When you pray, go into your inner room, close the door and pray to your Father in secret.

                  And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.

This introduction will include a brief overview of the contemplative tradition, the method of Centering Prayer and how to let go of thoughts and the effects of a deepening relationship with God in our daily lives.
