2014 was a full and abundant year of contemplative prayer offerings one Saturday each month at St. Alban's. As we reflect on this past year's themes and prayer practices, we realize that this group is more easily identified as "Growth in Prayer". Although many of our prayer practices on these Saturdays are still a contemplative prayer form, we are growing beyond that focus to be more inclusive of a variety of prayer practices.
These Saturday gatherings are open to all who desire to hear God's Spirit through personal reflection, and community prayer and sharing. This blog is intended to offer general information in one easy-to-find location.

2015 Schedule - View the schedule of what has been confirmed thus far.
Contact Us - Names and email addresses for questions, comments, registration, etc.
Resources - Book titles, websites, etc. that support the contemplative focus of this group. Check back often for updates to this page.
Attendance at these monthly events ranges from 8-20+ people and is open to anyone. Generally, we begin with 15 minutes of silence for everyone to settle themselves and prepare to engage in the Holy. The silence may be followed by a brief time of instruction and conversation, small group sharing on that morning's theme, and closing prayer. Coffee and tea are available beginning at 9:45 a.m. Each gathering is led by one or two people who guide the group through that morning's process. Visit the 2015 Schedule tab at the top of this blog to read about upcoming topics. Most gatherings take place at St. Alban's. However, we have some events tentatively schedule off-site and that information is found in the 2015 Schedule.
