When You Pray
A Study on Prayer, from Kelly Minter, Jackie Hill Perry, Jen Wilkin, Jennifer Rothschild, Jada Edwards and Kristi McLelland.
Throughout God’s Word, we encounter many voices who teach us how to pray. You’ll learn that God welcomes your praise and lament, your thanksgiving and intercession. You’ll see examples of how to pray when you’re alone and when you’re gathered with others. Above all, you’ll notice there’s no one right way to pray. As you draw near to God through prayer, you’ll find your faith strengthened and your heart united to Christ.
Beginning September 18-21
Mon., @ 10:30 am w/Darla Daugherty
Tues., @ 1:30 pm w/ Pat Cannon & Nancy Denyes
Wed., @ 6:30 pm w/ Amber Sattler

Who is Jesus? Why did he come? What does it mean to follow him? This study is perfect for a sincere seeker of spiritual truth or a skeptic who has real questions about the Christian faith.

Join Pastor Joel Wayner and Pastor Tim Van Loh for this seven-week course beginning Sunday, September 17 from 5:45-7:15 PM in the Fireside Room.
