As Christians, a foundation of our life with God is prayer. Jesus emphasized the importance of communication with our Father by His own example and by teaching His disciples how to pray. This summer at Peace Lutheran we will look more closely at the Lord's Prayer, which Jesus shared with His followers. "Lord, Teach Us to Pray: Six Studies on Spirituality and the Lord's Prayer" will be offered on Wednesday mornings at 6:30-7:45 am and 9-10:30 am, beginning June 10 and continuing through July 22. The cost is $12.00. Look for registration information today in the narthex.
