Sacred Ground Dialogue circles

In the fall of 2020, Christ Church began our first group of Sacred Ground dialogue circles. The conversations have been rich, important, and challenging. If you missed the opportunity to register this fall, we invite you to join the dialogue circles that will begin meeting in 2021.
Sacred Ground is a 10- session film and readings-based dialogue series on race, grounded in faith.
Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race and racism while weaving in threads of the family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. The groups meet on Zoom every three weeks to discuss the films and readings for the sessions.
Groups will begin meeting in February. Formmore information on the program, please email Charlette Preslar at the link below.
Sacred Ground is a program of the Episcopal Church. For more information on the Sacred Ground program click the blue button below. To register for the next session of Sacred Ground click the red button.

Finding god with in - centering prayer

Centering Prayer is a method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer, prayer in which we experience God's presence within us.This method of prayer is both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship.
Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer. Rather, it adds depth of meaning to all prayer and facilitates the movement from more active modes of prayer into a receptive prayer of resting in God. Centering Prayer emphasizes prayer as a personal relationship with God and as a movement beyond conversation with Christ to communion with Him.
Lead by Deacon Tom Morelli, anew group will enter into this practice the week of September 13, 2020.
