Deepening
The University of Chicago recently studied 52,000 U.S. adults. Not surprisingly, they found a deep yearning for God. What caught me off guard is that the study found that the number of adults practicing daily prayer rose from 52% in 1989-90 survey to 59% today. People are seeking God.
How is your prayer life? Is it deep and rich? Does it bring you before your Creator with a sense of awe and expectation? Or...are you stuck? Do you want to go deeper in your faith; but every time you try to pray you either day dream, fall asleep, or become bored? How do you get out of the starting blocks and encounter God?
For the next five weeks during our Tuesday's Together (6:30 p.m. in Faith Center) we will be joining the disciples as they asked, "Lord, teach us how to pray." We will learn the ancient disciplines; and as Paul says, "get in touch with those agonizing longings which never find words."(Romans 8:26) All are invited, all are welcome.
Each of us needs a spiritual discipline for Lent. I encourage you to make this your Easter preparation . |

In Faith,
P.S. For those unable to attend Tuesday evening, there will be a repeat Wednesday mornings, 10 a.m., in Fellowship Hall. |
