SUMMARY:Formation for Contemplative Outreach Service
DESCRIPTION:Formation for Contemplative Outreach Service \nJanuary 26-31\, 2020 (Sun. to Fri.) \nBethany Retreat Center \nP.O. Box 129\n	Frenchville\, PA 16836 \n814.263.4855 – bethanyretreatcenter@gmail.com \nFacilitators: Therese Saulnier\, Sr. Ruth Ann Madera & Nancy Cord Baran \nWhat is Formation for Contemplative Outreach Service? \nThe purpose of Formation for Contemplative Outreach Service\, including Presenter’s Training\, is to provide an intensive Christian community experience in order to better understand and grasp the essentials of the Centering Prayer method and thus be able to share it appropriately with others. \nThe theory is “Good practitioners make good presenters\, facilitators\, and administrative helpers.” Because the group spends four days focusing on the Centering Prayer practice itself\, they better understand the essentials of Centering Prayer and the many nuances of the practice. This deeper understanding helps them to better recognize that contemplative service is service freely offered without expectation of return. \nThe schedule includes: \nOne and a half hours of Centering Prayer daily\n	Presentations by the staff of one conference of Session one of An Introduction to Centering Prayer each morning.\n	Participants present portions of the same material to a small group in the afternoons. \nCriteria for Register for: Formation for Contemplative Outreach Service \nParticipated in “An Introduction to Centering Prayer”\n	Established Centering Prayer practice – minimum of daily two twenty-minute periods ~ for three years.\n	Participated in an 8- or 10-day Centering Prayer Intensive Retreat\, either before attending Formation or within one year after attending Formation\, and before becoming fully commissioned.
