Listen: Praying in a Noisy World
There will be two opportunities to participate in our Lenten study, Listen: Praying in a Noisy World.
- Sunday morning sessions will be offered beginning March 9th at 9:30 am.
- Wednesday evening sessions will begin March 12th at 6:30 pm.
- If you’re gathering with us on Wednesday evenings, you will be invited to break bread with us as we gather. For the first meeting we will be doing BYOF (Bring Your Own Food), but from there we’ll discuss some other options for the following meetings.
Publisher’s Description:
We live in a world of noise. Everywhere we go, we hear sounds that compete for our minds and hearts. Listening to God requires a deliberate choice to shut out the chaos around us and focus our thoughts.
Listen, by Rueben P. Job, is a 40-day experience created to offer help to those new to prayer, those with a daily prayer routine, and those whose lives seem too busy to pray. With a focus on listening prayer and prayer as a two-way conversation, the experience will assist individuals and groups in building and deepening a personal prayer practice and spiritual discernment.
As we learn to listen, we find a new depth and fulfillment in our relationship with God and a new experience of God as guide and companion in our lives. The daily prayer pattern includes an invitation, silence, Bible reading, a story, guided time for reflecting and listening, and practical help for developing six specific prayer practices.
