“
We do not find our own center; it finds us.” Says Richard Rohr and he goes on to say, “We do not think ourselves into new ways of living. We live ourselves into new ways of thinking.” He says that we really don’t know what it means to be human without knowing God. What does that mean to you? What is it you do to get to your center and what does that mean for you? Sacred quiet meditation, prayerful reflection, soulful readings and conversation about both center and circumference .

There are many stories and examples in the Bible of God’s people calling on and waiting for God to show up in one form or another. But scripture also tells us that there are over 100 passages where it speaks of “God waiting for us.” God is the constant and we are more often the ones who walk away or ignore God moving in and through our lives. We want God; however we want to control the narrative as well; we want God to show up the way we want God to show up and can miss the reality that God is already here and always has been. Come share some sacred conversation and a bit of your story about waiting for God. There will be music, prayer, sacred readings discussion and contemplative prayer to help us with this tender topic.

“In mature religion, the secular becomes sacred. There are no longer two worlds. We no longer have to leave the secular world to find sacred space because they’ve come together.” - Richard Rohr
The thing is that it takes dedication and practice if you truly desire a close relationship with God. Marcus Borg tells us that at the heart of Christianity is God. He tells us that just as important is, “how we see God and how we think of God; God’s relationship to the world, and God’s character – matters greatly.” The conversation becomes important as to what is on our mind and in our heart when it comes to what we want and need from God. Join us as we explore the concept on God on my mind and in my heart. Music, centering prayer, storytelling, while we construct a vision board of our own will fill our time together.

Taizé invites us into a time of quiet meditation and inner peace. It is born out of a small ecumenical community in the eastern hills of France. Through song, silence, readings, meditations, and scripture we prepare ourselves for listen to God. There is no sermon or homily during this time of prayer. It recognizes that every human person is made in the image and likeness of God. In a time when we are quick to classify people into convenient and countless categories, Taizé reminds us of the living presence of God that is available to us all. It assists us in opening our mind, heart and soul to God and each other.
The music is about taking a single phrase such as “The Lord is my Light” or “Jesus remember Me” or “Bless the Lord” (as well as other songs) and repeating these words as a centering prayer to clear our minds and prepare our hearts to be open and quieted for God to enter in. There are short periods of silence spaced between a focusing prayer, scripture reading, and reflection. We take a moment to ask God for those suffering, our families and community, then conclude with the prayer Jesus brought to us: Our Father/Creator.
This will be a zoom gathering and information
will be sent along to registrants.
