contemplative opportunities this week - reminders

[Cherry Haisten]

Hello all you centering pray-ers far and near--

 

Want to make sure you don't forget these contemplative opportunities this week.

 

First, Susan Komis from national/international Contemplative Outreach will be with us here at St. Andrew's on Wednesday evening. We will begin the evening with centering prayer at 5:45. This will be, as usual, in the chapel UNLESS i hear back from so many of you that we need to move prayer to the parish hall. If that is the case, there will be signs, or you will catch on!

 

At 6:30 we will have a potluck supper in the parish hall after which Susan will be presenting to us on the "Twelve Principles of Spiritual Leadership." This will be a wonderful opportunity to reflect on our spiritual journey and how it shapes who we are in the world.

 

Second opportunity will be this Saturday, April 18, at the Priory Spirituality Center in Lacey. Here is your chance to learn the welcoming prayer or to deepen your understanding and practice of it. Father Keating has said that the welcoming prayer has not gotten enough attention and appreciation throughout the Contemplative Outreach network. Here is a chance to begin rectifying that dearth. This practice is powerful and profound in extending the consent of centering prayer into our daily lives.

 

I am attaching flyers for both of these events. Even though you've probably seen them before, with this message you will have them at your fingertips.

 

If you know of anyone looking for a centering prayer introductory workshop, there will also be one of those this weekend with Paul Peterhans and John Eisen at St. Francis of Assisi Church in Burien. Also attaching that flyer in case you are interested or want to pass it on. Will keep you notified of other introductory opportunities as they arise.

 

Look forward to hearing from you and seeing you, I hope!

 

Blessings for untold Easter joy..........
