Each Monday evening at 7pm, we gather in Salem's nursery or on Zoom to practice centering prayer.

Centering Prayer is a Christian contemplative practice developed by Father Thomas Keating. In silent meditation, practioniers let go of thoughts, memories, judgements, opinions, and anything that may keep them from abiding in God. This is called kenosis, a self-emptying like Christ (Philippians 2:7). Through this self-emptying, we become aware of the continual presence of God's love, mercy, and Self.
