Lent Study & Prayer
40-Day Welcoming Prayer Practice
Welcoming Prayer Practice is an embodied spiritual practice of meeting God with our anxiety, fear, pain, etc. by letting go and consenting to the Indwelling Spirit. This ‘Consent on the Go’ provides a means for moving deeper into trust and intimacy with the living God. We will be following Thomas Keating’s 40-day guidebook to open to God’s presence and action in the midst of everyday life.
Together we will meet on
Thursday mornings at 10:00 – 11:30 am.
The opening of the 7 weeks is Thursday, February 24 – April 7. If you prefer to take it online contact Lorie 604.217.6966. lorie@loriemartin.com
To prepare join in two online sessions to learn and practice Centering Prayer which is a part of the Study: These are on Sunday, February 13 & 20th at 2 – 4 pm.
There is no charge for the practice group.
40-Day Practice Booklets are $20 - Scholarships are available to all. Please Register with Joanie online or by telephone.
Suggested donation $5-10
Yoga will start up again Wednesday, January 26.
