Awakening: Changing Seasons of Prayer
Saturday, Jan. 30, 2021
9:15 a.m. - 12:45 p.m.
The Episcopal Church of St. Michael and St. George in Clayton invites women throughout the diocese to a special morning of virtual prayer and presentation. The theme of the retreat is Awakening to a new year. We have come through a dark place. What is our next step? Centering prayer can help us remember the time which drew us to Christ and to help us find God again.
Awakening is not an intellectual experience, but a major shift in consciousness and realization. Waking up is usually awakening to what is already present within. Every moment of any awakening experience lends to our transformation.
Our morning of prayer will allow us to further explore the dynamic of awakening experiences of our personal spiritual journey and further explore the changing seasons and stages of our human effort to communicate with the Divine which we refer to as ‘prayer.’
The morning provides time for opening prayer, presentation, group discussion and a brief period of Centering Prayer.
We invite you to join us in the spirit of continued hope, inspiration and awakening in this New Year!
“Nearer to you than hands and feet; and closer to you than breath itself “
…. Alfred, Lord Tennyson
