FUMC Centering Prayer! 

Centering Prayer is based on the wisdom saying of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount: "...But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door and pray to your Father in secret.  And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you." -Matthew 6:6  The focus of Centering Prayer is the deepening of our relationship with the living Christ.  Centering Prayer is a prayer of silence, a prayer of consenting to God's presence and action within oneself.  It is a form of silent Christian meditation inspired by the writings of major contributors to the Christian contemplative heritage, including Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Therese of Lisieux, and Thomas Merton.  It is simply resting in God beyond thoughts, words, and emotions.

We welcome you to join us on Wednesdays, 9:30 - 11:00 a.m., in the chapel of FUMC.  No experience necessary.
