Spiritual Growth
Bible Study
Wednesdays at 10:30 am in the Parish Hall
​
​Led by the Rector, Bible Study is offered throughout the year. Gospels and inspirational readings are explored. All adults are welcome to this discerning group. We often participate in the Bishop's Good Book Club. Through Lent, we are learning about the Stations of the Cross. Join us!
​
Centering Prayer
Until the church reopens, Caroline is offering weekly meditations via YouTube
​
Using the resources and training provided by Contemplative Outreach, ​this group meets in the Sanctuary for a twenty minute centering prayer session each week. Centering prayer is a receptive method of silent prayer that is both a relationship with God and a discipline. All are welcome to join us!
​
Contact Caroline Thompson (cthompson57@gmail.com) for more information about this Christian contemplative practice. Caroline is the facilitator of the Centering Prayer group at St. Mary's. She is also a member of the Servant Leadership Team of Contemplative Outreach of Pensacola and its Librarian (the Chapter has over 200 books and resources on Christian contemplative tradition).
Cursillo
​

​
Members of St. Mary's are encouraged to participate in Cursillo, usually held twice a year at the beautiful Beckwith Retreat Center. Learn more about this incredible opportunity for spiritual growth at the Coastal Pilgrims website.
​
Pilgrims, those who have attended in a Cursillo weekend, are invited to join the established groups available at St. Mary's (contact the office for more information about these).
