Lenten Saturdays at 10:00 am | Sanctuary
“For Lent, give up your striving.
Return to the truth of who you are.
Give up the spiritual trek.
Find your home here,
in trust in the grace of God. …
Don’t go off on a journey, go in.
Return to the peace at the center.
There is much to let go of….”
~ Pastor Steve Garnaas-Holmes
Practicing stillness with the anchor of others can help us tap into spiritual support we may not feel when we pray or meditate alone. Stillness—especially supported stillness—can help us let our guards down and reset ourselves emotionally.
There will be a space for candle lighting and a bowl to share private prayers each week. Handouts will be available for anyone interested in ideas for their stillness practice. A brief reading and group prayer from one of Nativity’s spiritual directors will introduce each session before moving into silent time.
For our stillness/meditation time, choose a duration that complements your comfort level—10 minutes, 20 minutes, or 30 minutes. A singing bowl will be rung to offer a closing blessing for each segment of time.
Optional advocacy and service projects will be available in the Commons beginning at 10:15. We invite you to stay and contribute to projects that will support the broader community. Questions? Contact Jen Wannen at jennifer@nativitychurch.org.
