GROW

PRAY

  • A women's charismatic prayer group that uses Scripture, journaling and personal prayer to move closer to Jesus' Heart and His love for you. Share in an atmosphere of trust and confidentiality. Simply come as you are with an open heart.

    Tuesdays | 1:00–3:00 PM

    Interested? Contact Sue Ludvik | soozludvik@netscape.net.

  • Centering Prayer is a receptive method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer and experience God's presence within us.

    This method adds depth of meaning to all prayer and facilitates the movement from more active modes of prayer - verbal, mental or affective prayer - into a receptive prayer of resting in God. We pray in this way for 30 minutes, followed by reading and discussion.

    2nd, 4th, and 5th Saturday of the month | 9:05–10:30 AM

    Interested? Contact Marilyn Buresh | marilynburesh@cox.net.

  • Are you looking to deepen your faith and share authentic conversation with other women? Are you discerning how to put faith into action?

    Inspired by the “Road to Emmaus” we are women who seek to find Jesus’ presence in our lives by gathering together. We read the upcoming Sunday gospel, have a time of personal reflection and share how the gospel resonates with our lives. We go forth seeking to take action on how the gospel touches our lives. Meetings are held bimonthly on Tuesday evenings, please join us!

    Interested? Contact Katie DiLeo | katiemco@gmail.com or Melissa Krebs | melissatkrebs@gmail.com.

SHARE

  • Is God calling you to serve others in a meaningful way? The Called & Gifted discernment process is designed to help participants discover their unique God-given spiritual gifts that are meant to be used to help others. Come and explore the process and learn where you fit into God’s plan!
