Centering Prayer

Centering Prayer is a form of Christian meditation that focuses the mind, heart, and soul upon God's presence in the here and now. There are currently two centering prayer groups meeting at Christ Church: 

• ​Mondays, 5:30 p.m. — Zoom
  Contact Steve Essner (steveessner@gmail.com) for Zoom access information.
  
  
• Saturdays, 8:30 a.m. — CEC Sanctuary
  Contact Bob Towner (robinart49@gmail.com) for details.​​

Evening Prayer

Evening Prayer is one of the foundational prayer services of the Anglican tradition. A beautiful liturgy with scripture readings and prayers for our own needs, those of our neighbors, and prayers for the world, Evening Prayer offers a comforting way to close out your day and prepare for an evening of rest. We currently only hold Evening Prayer once a week in the church sanctuary, but some CEC members make it a practice to hold public Evening Prayer livestreams every weekday. Contact Joshua Smith (ministryintern@christchurchcape.org) for information about how to access those services.
​

• Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. — CEC Sanctuary and Facebook Live
