Since prayer is a key part of spirituality, the Franciscan Spiritual Center tries to nurture prayer in many ways. We offer experiences with various methods of prayer and hope that each individual who comes to the Center finds at least one form of prayer that works for him or her. A person can come to the Center to experience the Labyrinth, a walking form of prayer, and participate in an individual or group experience with each of the forms of prayer below.

Lenten Taize Prayer

Come to Lenten Taize Prayer from 7:00 - 9:00 PM on Feb. 26 to chant, meditate and pray around the cross. Also, watch for more Taize Prayer sessions in the future.
 
Lenten Contemplative Prayer
Contemplative prayer is the way to go for deepening your Lenten journey.  All are welcome no matter your experience level.   This form of prayer is a road that leads to a deeper inner silence and trust in the One who walks with us toward the cross.
All Thursdays during Lent beginning Feb. 4 from Noon – 1 PM
Facilitator: Pastor Charles Mantey, Milwaukie Lutheran Church
Cost: Donation

Prayer with Our Dreams
Paying attention to our night-time dreams is a kind of soul-work - a fruitful way to gain new insights into our selves, as well as to lead us into deeper relationship with God and find wisdom and direction.  Join with other “dreamers” to open your dreams to more layers and possibilities and understanding.  Participants may attend any of the 6 week series, but are asked to commit to coming for all sessions in the series for which they’ve signed up.
