Upcoming Events
“Prayer in Real Life” Class
JAN 11 - FEB 1 | 9:15AM | MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM
This four-week adult Christian formation series on prayer explores prayer as both personal devotion and communal practice, moving from biblical foundations to spiritual traditions, practical daily disciplines, and the role of prayer in discipleship and service. Through scripture study, guided discussion, and shared experience, participants engage diverse forms of prayer—such as contemplative silence, intercession, and liturgy—while learning to understand prayer as a posture of openness, listening, and transformation that strengthens community, nurtures compassion, and sustains lifelong Christian faith and witness.
