Contemplative Prayer Gathering

“In essence, contemplative prayer is simply a wordless, trusting openness of self to the divine presence.” (Cynthia Bourgeault)

Hey Oakbrook Church community,

Just a reminder that we are holding our third Contemplative (Centering) Prayer evening this Thursday, July 17th at 7:00pm in the Worship Hall. Contemplative prayer is a practice that helps us move past our minds and our egos in order to rest in the very presence of God. This prayer session is open to all, so please feel free to invite friends. I look forward to spending this time with you.

“We rarely think of the air we breathe, yet it is in us and around us all the time. In similar fashion, the presence of God penetrates us, is all around us, is always embracing us.” (Father Thomas Keating)
