End of the Month Examen

The prayer of Examen is a unique form of prayer that came out of the life of St Ignatius of Loyola (AD 1491-1556), the founder of the Society of Jesus- The Jesuit Order of priests as we know them today. Ignatius believed that this particular prayer was a gift directly from God, and was meant to be shared with and taught to as many people as possible. Christians through the centuries have discovered how this exercise can open us up to the awareness of God in our day, deepen intimacy with our Creator, and expand our understanding of Him in the details of our lives.

Join us as we invite the Holy Spirit to take us back over the month and shine His light on the events and circumstances He wants us to notice and doesn't want us to miss. This is an hour-long, guided Examen via Zoom on the last Sunday of each month, hosted by spiritual directors in our community. This is an ongoing offering and you are welcome to come as your schedule allows.

Next 5 Week Practice Group: Exploring the Contemplative Life

In the fast pace of our human experience it can be hard to find the space to slow down and recognize the companionship of Jesus, listen to the voice of God's Spirit and experience the love of the Father. There are practices that Christians have been exploring for centuries that help quiet the noise of the world and lead us into a greater awareness of God with us. In this 5 week online group experience we'll explore some of those prayer and scripture practices, and ask God to show us how much He can do when we consent to the quiet spaces He creates for us.
