Meditation Worship

Silence. That is at the center of our new Wednesday 7:00 p.m. gathering. 
We gather with quiet music and congregational singing.
We listen to a reading that, depending on the time of the year, might be Christian scripture, Muslim poetry, Buddhist reflection, contemporary poetry, etc.
A time of prayer follows where participants are invited to light a candle to call to prayerful attention someone they know in need of support.
Then meditative music leads us into and out of a 20 minute period of silence for prayer and meditation. Suggested meditation practices are offered if you are not familiar with meditation.
Finally, we close with communion, again drawing on a varity of different spiritual traditions. Both wine and juice are offered for communion.
If you are thinking about starting a meditation practice, looking for a community to meditate with, or just feeling the need for a period of intentional silence in your life, we think this service may meet your need.
