📍 Update on The Collegiate Church & Call to Congregational Meeting Pray Gather Engage Give Personal prayer “Prayer is first of all listening to God. It’s openness. God is always speaking; always doing something.” — Henri Nouwen Prayer wall Add your prayers to our virtual prayer wall. Whatever your prayer...for the world, for our planet, for peace, for your loved ones, for the church, joining your prayers with the prayers of others you may never meet, and those you know well, helps create the “great cloud of witnesses” that moves us closer to bringing about the Beloved Community. A community that lives in God’s presence.

It has the power to transcend thoughts and emotions and invite us into an experience that is set apart. Our pastors have collected some musical selections, which we invite you to use to support your prayer practice in the ways that work best for you. Pastor Will’s Music for Many Moments A song for when you’re lying in bed and cannot sleep. A long prayer for patience (wait for it). A song for steadiness when you’re 5 minutes and 29 seconds away from the height of endurance. A prayer for when you’re nearly there. A song for when things are changing and you don’t understand why or how but you think it’s for the good. A prayer for hope. A song for when the problem feels too big and you think you don’t know how to choose but deep down of course you really already know. A prayer for discernment. A song for getting out of bed, or starting a road trip, or falling in love. A prayer for fresh beginnings. A song of faith to learn by heart and teach your children. A prayer for tradition today. Movement From labyrinths, to yoga, to sacred dance, movement can be a potent form of prayer. We often forget our bodies when we consider our spiritual life.
