Prayer - A Lenten Series
Do you want to pray but don't know where to start? Do you feel God is distant when you pray? Do your prayers often go unanswered? Does prayer leave you sad, angry, guilty, frustrated or empty? Do you feel your prayer life is too shallow? Do you have trouble finding time to pray? Do you desire a better more fullfilling prayer life? If you answered yes to the above questions, please join us on Tuesdays, February 12, 19, 26 & March 4 & 11th from 6:30-8:00 PM in the Parish Hall. Deacon Greg Price will present this Lenten Series.
