Intro to Contemplative Prayer

On February 24th from 9am-2pm, we are thrilled to gather in the practice of an introduction to contemplative prayer.

In the hurried and chaotic life that we all experience, it can be challenging to create space to hear from God and be still. During this time led by Dan Lemelin, a long time practitioner of contemplative prayer, we will together start learning in the practice of silent prayer. 

This gathering will be held at The Center For Faith and Leadership - 1514 College Ave, Fredericksburg, VA 22401.

New Years Day River Renewal
Jan
1

New Years Day River Renewal

Water holds great spiritual significance in the Christian faith. From the stories of creation, flood, exodus and on down to the baptism of Jesus, water is a source of life and a symbol of purification. When we ponder our own baptism we are reminded of God's work in our hearts through the power of the Holy Spirit.

On January 1st, 2024 we would like to invite you to a polar plunge of sorts but with a different purpose. We will gather at the River for a liturgy of baptismal renewal as we enter the cold waters of a new year to be reminded of our new life in Christ. If you are interested in finding out more about the New Years Day Renewal Ceremony you can contact Gregg for more information.

Unum Solum
Nov

to Nov 12

Unum Solum

Unum Solum is the Latin term for, "alone together." Every year we offer a Silent Retreat at Common Ground to grow in our practice of contemplative prayer and in our fast paced world, to grow still. What might God have to say to you if you turned the noise off for a weekend? No screens. No appointments. No games. Just good food and a few others seeking the voice of God. Space is very limited but we would like to offer you the chance to be "alone together. Dan Lemelin and Gregg Jennings will be leading this retreat and we hope you would consider joining up. 

Start on Friday at 6 pm for dinner, end at lunch on Sunday


Cost is $95
