Invitation to Centering Prayer

Location: SJWT in-person

Wednesday mornings, 10:00 to 10:30 am

Are you drawn to listen more deeply, with ears, eyes, and heart? Are you searching for some way to step outside the noise, the stories, the busyness, and stand in the river of your life without anxiety, without striving, with confidence that the strength enabling you to stand in the flow comes directly from God? If you’ve been longing for deeper spiritual awareness, join us for the practice of Centering Prayer. No experience necessary, no introverted temperament required – only honesty, commitment and a good sense of humour.

St. John’s Quiet Day: Walking with God

​

“When you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you.  When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart”  

  -Jeremiah 29.12-13

​

The work of discernment in the Church is the work of uncovering what it is God is calling us to be, and our relationship with God is the foundation of our common life and our vision for the future. Join us for a time of prayer, conversation, and quiet reflection, led by Brother Reginald Crenshaw, about deepening our relationship with  God as we seek to discover what living into our calling means for us both personally and as a community.

​

When: Saturday, July 9th from 10 am to 2 pm

​

Where: St John’s West Toronto, 288 Humberside Ave.

Please bring a lunch.
