Rediscover how to pray with Scripture

August 7, 2025

Is your prayer life not as rich as you’d like it to be?

Jesus’ own disciples felt this way. They begged him to teach them how to pray (Luke 11:1-4).

Sit at his feet again and learn a centuries-old style of prayer based on Scripture and practiced by many saints.

In this 7-week course led by Deacon Paul Kipfstuhl, Mike Sweet and experienced lay parishioners, you’ll learn to hear our Gospel stories in a fresh way.

You’ll have an opportunity to share with others and learn about their prayer styles. And you’ll hear God speaking to you today through Scripture.

If you’ve participated before, you’re very welcome to join us again – God has more to say!

The course begins Monday, Sept. 8, at 6:30 p.m. in the Church.

All materials are provided.
