Centering Prayer: Improving our relationship with God.

Centering Prayer is a practice to foster our relationship with God. It is movement beyond conversation to communion and union with God. It prepares us for the gift of contemplation. Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer or meditation; rather it casts new light and depth of meaning on all of the various ways we open ourselves to new levels of consciousness. Gather with us to practice. All are welcome to join in this experience.

Herb K. was given the gift of freedom from alcohol February 21, 1984. As a result of the application of the 12 Steps as contained precisely in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, he experienced a profound spiritual awakening in 1988.

Since then, he has been very involved in carrying the message of recovery, as well as how to sustain, improve and enlarge our awakening.
