Prayer & Ignatian Discernment of Spirits is a special three part adult forum offered Wednesdays, July 11, Aug 22 and Sept 19th from 12:30 - 1:45 in our Library. We will learn and use traditional Jesuit practices to help us notice the inner movements of our mind and heart. We will ask ourselves, “How do my thoughts, affective acts and feelings effect my relationship with God? How do they move me toward or away from God? How do they increase or decrease my faith, hope and love?” We will engage actual case studies to practice Discernment of Spirits and consider the importance of scripture, sacraments, community and counsel during our times of consolation and desolation.

Children’s Handbell Choir resumes August 19 and continues on the first and third Sunday’s of each month from 10:40 to 11 or 11:10am. As part of our growing music ministry long time piano teacher and faithful God’s Place assistant and church member Jean Harrison will bless our children with an introduction to music education using color-coded handbells. Growing young musicians is not only good for our church, it is good for our children. “There’s some good neuroscience research that children involved in music have larger growth of neural activity than people not in music training. When you’re a musician and you’re playing an instrument, you have to be using more of your brain,” says Dr. Eric Rasmussen, chair of the Early Childhood Music Department at the Peabody Preparatory of The Johns Hopkins University, where he teaches a specialized music curriculum for children aged two months to nine years. You may sign up on Sunday mornings or let the church office know.
Centering Prayer followed by Lectio Divina (sacred reading) continues every Wednesday at 2pm in the Library. For those new to this, Centering Prayer is at the same time a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. Lectio Divina is engaging scripture or other texts to discover how Spirit is moving in our lives. All are welcome to attend both or either part of the Wednesday Centering Prayer meeting. Facilitated by Rev. Debra.
