• Thursdays – Centering Prayer Group meets via Zoom on Thursday afternoons at 4:30-5:15 pm during the program year (not during the summer). This group is for anyone interested in learning about this silent meditation from the Christian tradition. It has its own simple methodology and beautiful language of trust, surrender, love, relationship and union with the Divine. Included in each meeting is a reading relevant to Centering prayer, the 20 minute practice, and optional sharing time. Whether you are new to Centering Prayer or have been practicing it for a while, you are welcome. This group is guided by Kim Mulder, a spiritual director.

  • Saturdays Starting May 1, 2021 – Stand for Peace: The Reconciliation Ministry encourages participation in these weekly Saturday vigils, organized by Lakeshore Women for Peace. From the organizers: “Dear friends of Stand for Peace, There are many reasons to Stand for Peace. Murders in massage salons and grocery stores, new laws to disenfranchise voters, embargos that are causing hunger and death, people standing to protect their sacred lands. Trials for former police officers concerning use of force leading to death. The list is endless and invokes a sense of hopelessness. That is why we hold a Vigil for Peace and Justice, and take an hour a week when we hold an open space for peace in our minds and hearts, and offer it to our community, our country, and the planet. Stand for Peace Michigan invites you to join us each Saturday at Centennial Park on River Ave. from 12—1:00 PM, beginning May 1. Come and stand or bring a chair to sit for peace and justice. Bring a sign or borrow one of ours. We wear masks and social distance. If you know of others who might be interested, please pass the information on to them, All are welcome.”
