Spiritual Life Ministry

The church is a place where we come to encounter and respond to God in worship. The church is also a people engaged in an ongoing relationship with God that transforms who they are and how they act. The Spiritual Life Ministry offers experiences and creates spaces to cultivate personal, transformative encounters with the one Living God, made known to us through holy Scripture as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 

Centering Prayer

All are invited to participate in a weekly, community-led time of centering prayer and Lectio Divina on Tuesdays, from 8:45 to 9:30 a.m., via Zoom. Drawn from the monastic tradition, these practices offer an intentional way for individuals to make themselves available to God, acknowledging that “we do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us.” For more information or for the zoom link, contact parishioners Lesley Lilly or Molly Peacock.
