Summer Study
"Listening to and Learning from the Prayers of Jesus"
"
Jesus' ministry on earth as a human was marked by a devotion to prayer. Through his prayer life, we see what it means to truly depend upon God." As we read and ponder the prayers of Christ as recorded in the New Testament; we can learn to "imitate his example as we commune with our heavenly Father as adopted sons and daughters in Christ."
(The Prayers of Jesus, Mark Jones)
Join us for five weeks this summer as we meditate on and learn from the prayers of Christ. We will meet on Wednesday mornings,
10 am til 12 n on the following dates:
July 10th, July 17th, July 24th
