GROW CLASSES

Clear Pathways to Spiritual Growth

We are all engaged in a life-long process of spiritual growth.  No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, we have opportunities for you to develop at your own pace.

 

Each of our GROW classes and experiences are designed to help meet the specific needs of people at each stage of their journey.

The Practice of Prayer

Sunday, April 27th, May 4th, 11th, & 18th

8:45-9:45AM | Location TBD

Facilitator | Pierre Willems

Whether you’re new to the faith and curious about how to pray, or you’ve tried praying before but found it difficult or boring, you’re welcome to join us as we explore and practice prayer together. As the study guide says, "Prayer is simply the medium through which we communicate and commune with God. The practice of prayer is learning to set aside dedicated time to intentionally be with God, in order to become like him and partner with him in the world." All are welcome!
