This approximately 30-minute weekly prayer experience begins with an opening reading, followed by 20 minutes of Centering Prayer and time for intentions, both personal and for those most affected in our world.
It is not necessary to have any prior experience with Centering Prayer in order to join us. As always, all are welcome! We hope you will join us in community on Monday evenings (at Emmaus House) and/or Tuesday mornings (on Zoom) for this sacred time of silence and stillness, as we open to receiving more deeply God’s presence within us.
There is no cost to attend, but freewill donations are welcomed. If you would like to make a donation, please see below.

Reading & Reflection A Different Kind of Fast

Beginning Tuesday, February 17th, Emmaus House will offer a Reading & Reflection Group for Lent with the book A Different Kind of Fast by Christine Valters Paintner.

Fasting from rushing, being strong, holding it all together, or seeking certainty, we can become more aware of our truer, deeper hungers.
