​
​What is prayer? Does it simply consist of asking something of God, or does it tap into something deeper in us - a longing for intimate connection, like that of a child being held by a parent? This curriculum starts the discussion about what prayer means and how we regain a practice that is at the core of who we are. We will hear from theologians and thinkers who share their own journeys of prayer.   

Join us Sunday mornings at 8:30 as we view and discuss "The Art & Practice of Prayer".
