Remembering Barbara Brady
It's not goodbye; we will meet you again.
O God of grace and glory, we remember before you this day our sister, Barbara.  We thank you for giving her  to us, her  family and friends, to know and to love as a companion on  our earthly pilgrimage. In your boundless compassion,  console us who mourn. Give us faith to see in death the gate  of eternal life, so that in quiet confidence we may continue  our course on earth, until, by your call, we are reunited with  those who have gone before; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Saturday, February 4, 2017

Contemplative Outreach of Atlanta will offer a seven-session program on Centering Prayer at St. Ann's Catholic Church (4905 Roswell Road, Marietta, GA). The program begins with a full day workshop (from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) on Saturday, February 4, 2017, and includes six weekly follow-up evening sessions on dates to be determined by the participants.

The cost for the program is $25 in advance or $35 at the door and includes all seven sessions. (Scholarships are available.) The workshop will be held in La Salette Hall, which is located behind the Parish Office and across the street (Bishop Lake Road) from the church. Registration begins at 9:00 a.m. Beverages and breakfast snacks/light lunch will be provided.

Centering Prayer is a simple method of prayer, rooted in ancient Christian tradition. The series will introduce participants to the four simple steps of Centering Prayer and provide opportunities to practice the discipline in daily life.
