When You Pray ~ A Study of Six Prayers in the Bible
In this 7-session study, join with six beloved Bible teachers who will help you study prayers in the Bible that can inspire your own. 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. Sign-ups will begin mid-May.
Extravagant Sharing
In the month of MAY please fill the Extravagant Sharing shelves with boxes and individual serving size containers of MACARONI AND CHEESE plus boxes of dry cereal. God bless all of your extravagant sharing!
