BE STILL: EXPLORING CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICES
Looking for a little more quiet, depth, or connection with God?
This year, Lake Harriet invites you to slow down, pay attention, and explore some of the rich practices Christians have used for centuries to deepen their spiritual lives.
In partnership with Saint Catherine University, we are offering Contemplative Practices, a nine-session series exploring different ways of connecting with God—individually and in community. Together we’ll learn about and experience practices including centering prayer, Lectio Divina, the Labyrinth, and more.
Come when you can. Each session stands on its own, so you are welcome to drop in for individual sessions—or join us for all nine and experience the full journey.
SCHEDULE
Sessions are held at Lake Harriet UMC from 6:30–8:00 p.m.
September 24, October 22, November 19, December 3 (1st Thursday due to the holiday) January 28, February 25, March 25 (Maundy Thursday), April 22, May 27.
Child care for infants through age 5 is available. Please let us know when you register if you will need child care.
No experience with contemplative prayer is necessary. Just come as you are—and make a little space for God.
