SUMMARY:Learn A New Prayer Practice For Lent
DESCRIPTION:Learn a New Prayer Practice for Lent \nJohn Wesley encourages us to pray without ceasing. In our busy lives\, with so many distractions\, it can be difficult to keep to a regular prayer practice. Beads have been used by many faiths over the centuries as a meditative way to focus attention on prayers. Join us on Sunday March 2 to create a set of beads and learn about this ancient prayer practice just in time for Lent. We will meet in the dining room at noon. There will be a fee of $12.00 to cover materials costs. Contact Mari Leonard with questions and to register for the class. mari.leonard@comcast.net

SUMMARY:Lent Contemplative Prayer Group
DESCRIPTION:Lent Contemplative Prayer Group In the 1960s\, the well-known Trappist monk\, Thomas Merton\, brought contemplative practice out of the cloister into the realm of ordinary people. In the 1970s\, Father Thomas Keating developed a form of contemplative practice called centering prayer; and John Main\, a Benedictine monk\, advocated a practice of contemplative meditation. We will be utilizing the small group format for contemplative practice outlined in the book “Where Two or Three Are Gathered” by Rev. Daniel Prechtel with an emphasis on lectio (reading)\, meditatio (meditation)\, oratio (prayer)\, and contemplatio (contemplation). The contemplative practice group will meet on Mondays\, March 10th – April 14th during Lent\, from 10:30am-11:30am on zoom and will be facilitated by Glynis Doyle and Maryellen Scott. If you have any questions\, would like to receive an outline of the format of the class\, or would like to register\, you can contact Glynis at dleedoyle@gmail.com.
