Meeting God in the Silence: An Introduction to Centering Prayer

Do you have questions about Centering Prayer and whether it is the right practice for you? Are you ready to begin a practice but need help getting started? Are you interested in deepening your current practice and would like a refresher and connection with other practitioners? Join us to learn more about consenting to the presence of God through the practice of Centering Prayer. Let praying without words, in deep silence and openness, bring you to a more complete awareness of the Divine Indwelling.

This retreat follows the national Contemplative Outreach Ltd. approach, combining short presentations, two Centering Prayer practice sessions, and ample time for questions and discussion. It is open to anyone, whether you have a longtime Centering Prayer practice or have never tried this form of prayer. There’s enrichment and insight for everyone.

Several accessible parking spaces are designated in front of the church. Parking is also available in the West Patrick Street Garage, 138 W Patrick St, Frederick, MD 21701.
