Wednesday Respite Online Service

Spirited Centering Prayer
Centering Prayer is founded on the basic goodness of human nature and is a way of cultivating union with God through silence and surrender. It is said that one may or may not “feel” the presence of God during centering prayer but, with repeated practice, one grows into a deeper sense of God’s abiding presence in all places and at all times.

A weekly gathering named and inspired by the Celtic’s image of Spirit, Wild Goose (for more see below).
