What is prayer, exactly? What sets authentic Christian prayer apart from the many “spiritual” practices being promoted today? How does one pray? Is it really necessary?
These questions—and many more—will be answered in our Lenten Retreat this year, where we will view and discuss a new video series by Dan Burke, Into the Deep: Finding Peace Through Prayer. Join us for three sessions featuring video content, light refreshments, and small group discussion.

PRAYER – It’s Mysterious, Challenging, Frustrating . . . and Life-Changing.
Discover why growing in prayer, which sometimes can be compared to a battle, is worth every ounce of effort you give it. Even if you’ve never prayed, or if you’ve never developed the habit of daily prayer, God is waiting to meet you where you are and encourage you every step of the way.
Using a simple approach to prayer, you’ll learn how even ten minutes a day can change your life. Author Dan Burke explains how to set up your sacred prayer space, discusses the common obstacles to prayer, and provides practical ways to overcome them.
