PRAYER JOURNEY
This fall, we invite you to join us on a meaningful and transformational journey. During this season, we will deeply consider the qualities that create a life of character. Each week a new quality will be introduced in two sermon series – The Road to Character and Politics and Peace. A companion prayer journal is available that will allow us to further discern our thoughts as well as explore different types of prayer.
One type of prayer we will practice is “Centering” Prayer. Each day, either before or after journaling, we will sit in silence and listen to God. As our journey progresses, so will the lengths of sacred silence. Our hope is to deepen our spiritual relationship by being open to God’s presence and direction. Our daily prayer email will follow this journey and feature an audio link of prayer and timed silence.
