Community Prayer Opportunities
In conjunction with Westhope Presbyterian Church we offer a variety of ways and space to interact with the Holy.
Labyrinth and Sacred Spiral
The outdoor Labyrinth at Westhope Presbyterian Church is always available for your use. Our labyrinth and sacred spiral are open to the public from sunrise to sunset. To find a labyrinth closer to you, check the website Veriditas.org clicking on “Labyrinth Locator”. Should you be interested in a private or group walk with a facilitator please feel free to contact a director for further information.

Contemplative Prayer
We offer Contemplative prayer Monday – Thursday at 9am. We gather as community in the sanctuary for a simple but beautiful prayer service. Typically we sing a contemplative song (you don’t have to sing if you don’t want to), share a communion with God in silence for about 20 minutes and then speak prayers for the larger communities to which we belong. It is a simple and powerful way to begin the day and a wonderful grounding for whatever awaits us later in the day.

Taize
We offer Taize service quarterly on the second Tuesday of the month at 7pm. On a small hill in the Burgundy region of France sits a vibrant community of prayer. It has become holy space for many seeking God in a deeper way. The monastery of Taize is a welcoming community that invites people from around the world to come and pray and be in community. At the heart of their style of prayer are simply sung prayers that are meant to be sung over and over again. These sung prayers have become known worldwide. On the third Tuesday of each month at 7pm, we gather in the Westhope sanctuary to try and hold this same type of holy space as we practice this same style of prayer. After a brief welcome this is the typical flow of the service: we sing several sung prayers, read two scripture passages, share about ten minutes of silence, sing a couple more sung prayers while people light candles and spend time around the cross, and then depart with a benediction. It is a beautiful time of deepening in our own sense of God with us as well as spending time together as a community. We hope that you will give it a try, even just once, so that you might find the mystery and wonder of this ancient prayer style.
