Prayers That Won't Work

What do our prayers say about our faith? Three passages from the Gospel of Luke each address some fundamental aspect of prayer, empowering us to pray more boldly and more honestly. Fear of praying wrong keeps some people from praying at all, but Luke shows us that prayer is ultimately a way of practicing dependence on God. Join us in our virtual sanctuary or in-person with us at 10:30 on Sunday mornings. 

This week, we talked about the importance of persistence in prayer and how it transforms us, our circumstances, and maybe even God! Next week, we will explore another unhelpful prayer, the prayer of comparison. You can learn more on our website.

Fall Book Discussion

This fall we will take a long, leisurely time with a short but powerful book, The Wisdom Way of Knowing, by Cynthia Bourgeault. We will meet via Zoom on Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 7:30, taking a chapter each week, foraging for insights and discerning practices we can apply to our own lives. We are looking forward to taking this journey together. You can find more information on our website.

Have you explored the opportunity of electronic giving? You can choose to have a set amount taken from your bank account on a regular basis or you can make a one (or more) time gift by checking account or credit card on our website.
