Bible Study

Our weekly Bible study on Zoom usually focuses on the Gospel for the upcoming Sunday and is led by Mtr. Meredith. We practice a contemplative, prayerful style of Bible study that focuses on how God is speaking to us through our questions, responses, curiosities and doubts as we engage Scripture.
The study is followed by a brief, optional service of noonday prayer.
Join in any Wednesday at 11 am. No previous preparation is required. The Zoom link is distributed via our weekly email newsletter (or contact the parish office).

Centering prayer is a type of meditation with a long history in the Christian tradition, beginning with the 14th century English monk who wrote The Cloud of Unknowing. But you don’t need to be a monk or a mystic to practice centering prayer and experience its benefits. Lent is the perfect time to enter the quiet of this practice. Beginners welcome. Sessions will last about 30 minutes. Tuesdays at 6 pm in the church (starting 2/20).
Led by Tessa Kale, who has taken many retreats on centering prayer with Cynthia Bourgeault and is a participant in her Wisdom School.
