About this event
Take a morning to slow down, breathe, and spend time with God. Join us for “A Simple Introduction to Contemplative Prayer,” a three-hour spiritual retreat at Grace United Methodist Church. Together, we’ll learn to create and practice a breath prayer as a doorway into contemplative prayer—a practice of being with God in silence and solitude. Whether you’re new to this practice or looking to deepen your prayer life, you are welcome. Saturday, November 14, 2026 9 AM–Noon Grace United Methodist Church • Room 303 3700 Cottage Grove Avenue, Des Moines There is no cost to attend, and a light continental breakfast will be provided. Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. The retreat will be led by members of the Grace Academy for Wesleyan Spirituality, a formational ministry of Grace church. Send us a message for more information or questions you may have. Interested in trying contemplative prayer before or after the retreat? The Heart of Grace prayer cell meets each Wednesday at 9 AM
