CONTEMPLATION

 

Humankind has not woven the web of life.  

We are but one thread within it.

 Whatever we do to the web,

 we do to ourselves.

 All things are bound together.

 All things connect.

 

Chief Seattle

 CONSIDERATION

CONWF sends gratitude to Nancy Bechard and Joan White who serve as coordinators for the facilitators who lead our Centering Prayer groups.  The coordinator's role is invaluable as communicator and facilitator to distribute current information about events and to provide opportunities for supportive interaction in quarterly meetings.
