Centering Prayer is a contemplative, meditative prayer that invites us to focus on the Presence of God. The intention is to enter into the pure, unknowable presence of the Mystery we call God. To return to this intention, a sacred word may be chosen to repeat silently to yourself. A word may arise out of the text or from within. This word may be repeated continually in rhythm with your breathing or simply returned to whenever you notice your mind wandering.

Lectio Divina is an ancient practice of praying the scriptures which encourages us to listen, notice, open, and respond to the Word of God praying within us. In this practice we do not so much read scripture as scripture reads us. We come to the text not for information but for the transformation of our lives. If you are looking for a spiritual practice to help you get through the week or just your Wednesday, I invite you to join us!

This group meets at a local restaurant, winery, or pub. The establishments we choose are usually friendly to all age groups, so college and high school students are invited to join us as well.  In a nutshell, Pints with a Pastor (PwaP) is a group sitting around a table talking about current issues of faith, philosophy, ethics, and ideas over a beverage. It is a safe space, where people can be honest and open about topics of faith, ask any questions, and at the end of the night, know that it’s perfectly fine if we disagree with each other…

Many years ago, a younger group of OSLC men started to meet for breakfast once a month and had a topic for discussion or a book review. Everything changed so that now we are much older, and we have no topic or book review. We just enjoy whatever comes up. We welcome newcomers and guests. There is plenty of space. Each orders their own food and drink and heads for our table.

This is a casual group of folks who love to eat and enjoy each other’s company.  It is usually held at one person’s home who provides the main dish, and the guest brings everything else.

Our intention is to build community and friendship knowing God is present in all of it.
