Spirituality Groups
Centering Prayer
Contemplative prayer is a rich element of our Christian tradition. All are welcome for Centering Prayer on Mondays. Join at 5:20 pm for a brief check-in, then we begin at 5:30 with calming music, opening prayer, 20 minutes of silence, and closing prayer.
Coordinator: Dan Hurley
When: Every Monday at 5:20 pm on Zoom
Graceful Aging
This class is concerned with inner and outer Self awareness–alignment of body and spirit. It’s based on yoga –the simplicity of breathing, stretching and strengthening, but is also designed to help you experience your own unique being through some free movement. After 30 minutes of deep breathing and mindful movement, we turn to a deep guided relaxation in our chairs which naturally flows into a few moments of stillness where we may access God’s presence within us.
Coordinator: Bunny Low
When: Wednesday’s from 4:30 to 5:15 pm
Daughters of the King
Daughters of the King is a worldwide organization of women who commit themselves to prayer and service.
“Empowered by the Holy Spirit, our vision as Daughters of the King is to know Jesus Christ, to make Him known to others, and to become reflections of God’s love throughout the world.”
Coordinator: Maria Dameron
