SCHEDULE FOR NASHVILLE

Imaginative Prayer
(Sanctuary)
Nov 22 2:00 PM-2:50 PM
Nashville

Imaginative prayer is praying with mental images, imaginatively entering a setting where we invite God to join us. It’s a way of offering our imaginations to the Creator of imagination, opening ourselves to hear, see, touch, taste, and feel God’s presence with us. We’ll ask God to touch our imaginations as we explore a Scripture passage together.

Centering Prayer
(Sanctuary)
Nov 22 4:00 PM-4:50 PM
Nashville

Here’s an opportunity to discover God’s constant, loving presence underneath all of our activities, words, emotions, and images. It’s also a place to notice how busy and distracted our minds and bodies can be. We’ll offer some suggestions to help you keep your focus on God, spend 20 minutes in silent prayer, and then have an open discussion about this prayer practice.
