Center for Prayer & Spirituality
The Center's mission is to encourage and support an interest in Christian spirituality and integrate mind, body, and spirit by offering contemplative practices, classes, lectures, workshops and direction.
We hope to foster connection, understanding and compassion for self, others and the mystery that beautifully and expansively holds us all.
9:30 a.m. - Noon
Cummings Chapel and Cathedral Gardens
We will look at words that describe 2021 and 2022 for us, and listen to the watchwords of others, including Jane Campion, Padraig O'Tuama, Amanda Gorman, Denise Levertov, and Ecclesiastes. A small interactive art activity will be shared.
