Centering Prayer is a simple method of silent prayer, a form of prayer with ancient roots in the mystical and monastic traditions of Christian faith. It can lead to a deeper prayer life, personal healing, spiritual transformation, and a closer union with God. This introductory series will include presentations on the origins and practice of Centering Prayer, doing Centering Prayer and reflecting on the experience.

Centering Prayer can lead to a deeper prayer life, personal healing,     
 spiritual transformation and a closer union with God.  This six-week series
 concentrates on what may happen when we are faithful to the practice.
