In these days of busy schedules, news overwhelm and personal fatigue, many of us long for a place of quiet calm and belonging, of prayerful searching. We invite and welcome you to join us for these evening contemplative gatherings that draw from ancient and contemporary wisdom sources. Led by spiritual director Kimberly Broerman, this circle offer a time for quiet stillness, reflection with Scripture and other sacred texts, intimate prayer and conversation, and silent meditation.
Join our lovely intimate community of seekers who show up to one another and to God every other Tuesday to join in prayer, reflection, and meditation. We sit and listen together. We read and reflect on texts from scripture, poetry, and other sacred writings. We share our real struggles and concerns, as well as our joy and gratitude. We hold silence and space for one another. We laugh. We pray. We seek to know and be known, to love and be loved. We keep on searching, stretching, stumbling toward Mystery and Grace.
It's not like any faith community I've ever attended, but it's the community I've always hungered for.
Our 2024 focus is Journeying with Howard Thurman
When I think about words, images, and ideas that have most inspired and guided my spiritual journey, next to scriptures, it's poetry that has most captured and kindled my imagination. And because many of us have heard some biblical texts and their interpretations so many times, poems often have a better chance of speaking a fresh word to us, and inspiring a new way to see and engage the world. So each time we gather, we will practice lectio divina (a prayerful listening practice) with a beloved poem, listening for the ways God continues to speak to us in fresh language and imagery.
Perhaps you've always wondered about the worship circle but been too busy or distant to make it. Perhaps you're feeling a growing need or desire for spiritual community and wisdom. Perhaps you've been away for a season, but feel drawn back. Whether you're a regular, nomad, or newbie, we'd love for you to join us. All are welcome!
About the Community: We are a growing community of Christian seekers, from a variety of spiritual backgrounds and life experiences, drawn to engage and support one another in authentic relationships, contemplative spiritual practice, and compassionate action in the world.
