Keys to Forgiveness Workshop: 2022

Prayer is much more that lifting others up for healing, help and hope. 

The Christian Tradition provides insight into the use of Quiet, Reading Scripture slowly and powerfully, Centering Prayer, and more. 

Spend a morning or a whole day in deepening your prayer which deepens your faith walk and discipleship with Christ. 

Forgiveness is at the heart of the Gospel, the Good News that the Realm of God had come near.

We have been given the holy status of being Citizens of Heaven.

However, we have trouble forgiving others and forgiving ourselves. 

Joanne Van Hook leads participants through a powerful workshop in understanding God's Grace and forgiveness in our lives. 

Joanne Van Hook has been trained by Contemplative Outreach in New Mexico and is one of their local contacts. 

Her workshop on Contemplate Prayer takes the insights from the Introduction to Deeper Prayer workshop and expands them so that they can be part of a regular prayer discipline.

Lexio Divina is a traditional spiritual discipline of scriptural reading, meditation and prayer intended to promote communion with God and to increase the knowledge of God's word.

The Bible comes alive and is filled with power as participants learn to see themselves in the scripture as well experience the presence of Jesus in their lives. 

1/2 Day and Full Day "Quiet Centering Prayer" can be easily scheduled at your local church.

The labyrinth pattern on the ground that provides a walking, prayerful meditation.  Joanne leads participants in learning, understanding and using it.

There is one way in and one way out.  You can get lost on a Labyrinth, it's not a maze.

You may have one already on your campus.  We can also arrange to bring a portable labyrinth for your workshop.

Sacramental living is a way of understanding our life as a disciple that is centered around the Sacraments. 

In the Sacrament of the Eucharist and Baptism, God acts in great grace and unconditional love. They are a gift from God to which we respond and act in gratitude. That is the heart of Sacramental Living. 

Pastor Terry leads participants in seeing this pattern of responding to God as a way to structure one's whole life.
