Preparing for Sunday
Tuesdays, 11 a.m.
Cary Lounge
Want to understand the Sunday Scriptures more deeply? Join Sandy Zull and others on Tuesdays at 11:00 a.m. in Cary Lounge for lively, informal explorations of the upcoming Sunday Scriptures: the assigned Old Testament, Psalm, Epistle, and Gospel readings. You can always look at upcoming readings on the Lectionary Page website.
Previously called Lectio Divina, the group is now using a slightly different discussion format. All are warmly welcome and invited, and no preparation is necessary!
Centering Prayer (Meditation)
Thursdays throughout the year at 11:00 a.m; currently meeting online. Contact the Office for instructions on how to access.
“Meditation is one of the most ancient and universal of all spiritual practices, and it is the cornerstone of a wisdom encounter with Christ,” writes the Rev. Cynthia Bourgeault, in Wisdom Jesus. All are welcome to try the CCD Centering Prayer group. No experience is necessary, and simple instructions are given for newcomers. The hour-long meeting includes 20 minutes of silence, intercessory prayer, a brief reading, and informal sharing. If you have questions or are coming for the first time, please contact tthe office. Brochures about Centering Prayer are in the leaflet rack at church, or you may learn more at contemplativeoutreach.org.
