Think about how your pray. For many people, prayer takes place at the edges of our life. We pray in the morning, at night, or maybe on Sunday morning. This one day retreat is about finding ways to pray in the middle of life - while the day is in progress.
The Apostle Paul wrote, "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." It turns out, we can't actually do that if we don't find ways to incorporate prayer into both the edges, and the middle of our days.
We'll spend this day working together to try out prayer practices designed for the middle of life. We'll be looking at prayers that can happen while we are doing other things, and at "triggers" that can call us to prayer without having to set an alarm.
Prayer in the Midst of Life is for people who are just getting started in faith, and for people with a long history of faithfulness. We can all learn to pray more continually!
The cost is $35 per person with beverages, snack and lunch included. Laughter and community connections are free!
