Encountering Christ in Prayer - sessions begins Sept 17
When it comes to prayer, one size does not fit all. Do you yearn for a deeper experience of prayer? Do you want to discover what your prayer means for a life of faith, hope, and love?
God is the first actor in prayer. On our part, prayer can be silent or vocal, sung or spoken, whispered or shouted, formal and informal. We can kneel, stand, sit, dance, run, walk and more to express ourselves. In prayer, we can and do express the gamut of emotions as we feel, imagine, desire, remember, understand, ponder, evaluate, ask, and decide. And we listen, listen, listen. Most of all we can and do meet Christ in prayer.

“There is a crack in everything; that’s how the light gets in” - Leonard Cohen
Sometimes our lives can feel cracked, ridden with disconnection and discontent. We might feel a yearning - sometimes unwieldy and uncertain, sometimes a desire so specific it freezes us. We may recognize a time away for rest and prayer would be helpful, yet responsibilities and life demands do not allow that freedom. What if you moved into the freedom of a retreat right where you are? In your own home, in your own life, with your own prayer. What if there was someone to help you listen to your own experiences of prayer, your own experiences of God breaking into your ordinary day?
