More Information
In addition to furthering our vision through teaching Centering Prayer and supporting those on the contemplative spiritual journey, the chapter has to pay the Web site, email and US Postal Service notification of events, offer small stipends for workshop and program presentations and provide partial scholarships to our events for those who ask. We also support the International Resource Center of Contemplative Outreach, Ltd. whenever it is financially possible. Through your generosity, Centering Prayer can continue to find its way into new lives every day. Please keep our work in your heart and prayers.

More than ever I feel your friendship and support and look forward to communion together in the Body of Christ, because whenever you sit down to prayer, you’re in communion and union with everyone else, past or even future people who haven’t even been born yet.
Everything is now in the heart and mind of God. Let us often go to be refreshed and to be encouraged by each other’s fidelity to the Centering Prayer practice.
