The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy. Psalm 65:8

Find delight and wonder in your relationship with God by exploring different ways to spend time with Him.  What delights Him will certainly delight us too. This sampler group will help deepen your prayer life by engaging your senses in a gentle and intimate setting. Ways of incorporating art will be encouraged but not required each month.

September: Art and Prayer- No experience required! Materials will be provided for you to choose from different types of art to explore.

October: Praying with Poetry and Scripture – Poetry can expand our understanding of what is put forth in Scripture helping us to express our thoughts to the Lord.

November: Lectio Divina – This prayer practice has been around since the days of the early church.We will pray using this effective approach.

December: Gospel Contemplation – The Gospel stories were multi-dimensional including all five senses with real people.We will delve into them from this angle during our prayer time.

January: Visio Divina – Using fine art and Scripture we will enhance our prayer time with a visual representation.

February: Rule of Life – We will discuss ways to lay foundations for regular and effective prayer times and practice a new component.

March: Praying with God’s Creation and Scripture – God communicates regularly through His creation if we only pay attention.Everything we have is a gift from Him.

April: Strengthening Spiritual Practices – We will put several practices together and discuss how they are enhancing our relationship with Jesus.

Limited to 5 people

This group is limited to five participants to give each person the space and quiet needed, and to allow for a personal and lively experience for each one.
