Christian meditation is a short time of restful silence that reunites us to God’s love. We easily lose connection with our true selves in the fog of busy lives, stress and routine. In group contemplative prayer we practice simple quiet presence that guides us toward a sense of connection with God. Rev Lisa uses scripture, nature, prayer and poetry to guide the group toward open presence for God. Every meditation time is for beginners and those who have been practicing for a long time. Our prayer only requires our willingness for God, the rest comes through the power of the Spirit.

Acceptance doesn’t mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and there has got to be a way through it .-- Matthew Fox
Far from resignation acceptance is connected to discovering God’s blessing in what is, as it is. Over the course of this reflective morning expect to learn some take away prayer forms to practice acceptance in your daily life. And with the gift of other parishioners find you are not alone seeking faith amid changes, chances and challenges of life.
