Pastor Gloria and Leslie Lauderdale invite you to join in a seven-week Lenten reflection opportunity – Animate Practices by Sparkhouse. Each week we will explore a core practice of the Christian faith with the goal of enriching our faith. We watch videos featuring leading voices from the Christian faith, spend time on personal reflection and journaling, and share ideas with the group.

This week our topic is Prayer: Oriented toward God with Brian McLaren. Brian’s take on prayer is less about what prayer does or why we pray. Instead, he focuses on giving us permission to pray in ways that are meaningful, helpful, and life giving.

Registration and purchase of the Animate Practices journal are necessary for participation. The journal cost is $15 and is available from the church office.
