PRACTICING PRAYER
Lent 2019
TEARS
April 7, 2019 • Sara Wolbrecht
Our culture doesn’t know what to do with tears and the complexity of emotions that fuel them: most often anger, sadness, and disappointment. This Sunday we explore what we can do through the prayer practice of lament. Lament is an often neglected vocabulary in our lives that uniquely accesses and expresses the deep sighs and griefs of our lives and world. Join the experience Sunday, on our journey through Lent, together.
BECOME YOURSELF

The thing about meditation is: You become more and more you. -David Lynch. This Sunday’s Lenten prayer practice is meditation. Do you know the well-documented and widespread benefits of meditation? Whether meditation is new to you or a regular practice, join us Sunday as we make space to grow in awareness – and become more and more ourselves – through three forms of meditation.
IN THE ABSENCE

When it comes to prayer, practicing prayer doesn’t make perfect but it does have the powerful potential to change the way we think, live, and love. We take time to explore and pray together by engaging with the practice of fasting. Fasting uniquely equips us and grows us through the process of emptying and ceasing.
HERE I AM

How do we connect with God through the physicality of our bodies? Sunday, we explore this with special guest Karen Ullery, who will lead us into simple, grounding practices of prayer that involve our hands, our feet, our breath – practices we can do throughout our week to release stress and connect with our God who is with us, always.
