Worship Opportunities

 We gather every Sunday at 10 a.m. for worship. Led by Pastor Lisa McColgan and our Director of Music, Kathy Caton, we seek to grow closer to God as we engage in prayer, celebration, singing, and the reading and hearing of God's word.  Children under age 5 are welcome in worship,  We invite you to join us, or, if you prefer, use the Live Stream Tab above to join us via YouTube.

 The first Sunday of the month is Communion. We welcome all at the Lord's Table regardless of age, sex, race, orientation, or social status.    

 We invite you to join us Wednesday evenings at 6 p.m. as we gather at the Church and share our joys and concerns and then spend some time in silent prayer before the Lord.   

Breath Prayer

Description and Purpose

The breath prayer builds on the basic practice of attentive breathing. It uses what you already have—your breathing—to integrate your body, mind, and spirit in prayerful paying attention. From the very beginning, Christians have turned to breathing as prayer. In the Bible the words for “breath” and “spirit” are the same, both in Hebrew (ruah) and Greek (pneuma), revealing the deep connection between breath, spirituality, and the divine. The purpose of breath prayer is to become mindful of your life in God right here, right now, through the most basic of bodily functions: breathing.

Getting Started

1. ​There are many forms for breath prayer. For beginners, use step 1 of the basic Christian mindfulness practice to pay attention to your breathing (p. 49–50 above). As you take slow, deep breaths, become more aware of your breath in your body and more present to the moment.

2. ​Next, to focus your mindfulness on God’s presence in you, say “here” as you breathe in and “now” as you breathe out. You can say the words mentally or in a soft whisper. You may also choose to use different words from Scripture or from your present need, for example, “peace,” “Jesus,” “Come Holy Spirit,” or “spacious life.” 

3. ​Continue this breath prayer as long as you like. For beginners, I suggest eight to ten breaths. 

4. ​To close, choose words for your final breath prayer such as “Amen,” “thank you,”or “let it be.”
