Adult Faith Formation ~ Tools for your Spiritual Journey
Prayer is the means by which we most come to know God. There are as many ways to pray as there are people, because our prayer represents our own unique response to God. Yet there is much we can learn from the spiritual greats relative to some tried and true ways to experience God in prayer. This two-part workshop will cover a few methods of prayer in considerable depth. We will explore:
- Centering Prayer, a method of praying without words
- Imaginative Prayer where we put ourselves into various Scripture scenes
- Journaling Prayer where we learn to communicate with God in written word
- Movement Prayer where we use simple movements to express our prayers
Come to one or both sessions to give yourselves some new tools for your spiritual journey.
