Prayer is one of the most important parts of our spiritual life, but it can also be misunderstood and mysterious. Each week we recite the Lord’s Prayer as part of our worship service. But with repetition, we can allow things to become mundane and lose sight of it significance and meaning. This Sunday, we will begin looking more closely at the Lord’s Prayer. We examine not only what we can learn regarding how we should pray, but also what we can learn about God and our relationship to God. As we embark on this new beginning as a church, prayer will be an essential component of aligning our purposes with God’s purposes and recognizing our dependence on God for our transformation. We will supplement our sermon series on the Lord’s Prayer with a Sunday school class on prayer which will allow for discussion and questions regarding this essential part of our spiritual life as a congregation. God is bringing transformation in our church, and I hope you will join us as we learn how to participate with God in this transformation through prayer.
