We invite you to join Centering Prayer group on Zoom, every evening from 5:30-6 PM PST, Monday through Friday.

At 5:30, you need only tap this link from your computer or mobile phone and it will bring you into this circle of practice, in a safe environment. Even without entering the space online, you might take this time wherever you are, light a candle and know you sit with us in community in prayer. Or offer a virtual prayer group of your own and invite others; we would be happy to post a link to it here.

The Format

5:30pm: gathering in silence (muted)
5:35pm: grounding chant or breathing exercise followed by a short reading on the practice of Centering Prayer
5:36pm: we recite together these words:

Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and know that I am.
Be still and know.
Be still.
Be.

A bell is toned.
20 minutes of silence is kept.
A bell is toned.

Closing: The Lord’s Prayer (un-muted)
Our Creator, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

6pm: host will end the meeting for all.
