Contemplative Prayer Group set
TROY — St. John’s UCC will be holding its Contemplative Prayer Group at The Gathering Place, 126 S. Walnut St., Troy, on the first and third Tuesdays of the month, Feb. 4 and Feb. 18, from 6:30-8 p.m. The facilitators are Allison DeHart & Annette Cargill.
They meet twice a month and practice a contemplative prayer process called Centering Prayer. Our prayer time is followed by a Circle of Trust based on the work of Quaker author and teacher Parker J. Palmer. In his book, “A Hidden Wholeness,” Parker writes “the singular intent of a circle of trust: [is] to make it safe for the soul to show up and offer us its guidance.” Each time they gather, the group will explore a different poem or short reading, so you are welcome to come once, once in awhile, or every time. All are invited to join. Donations to support The Gathering Place will be accepted but are not required.
