Have you ever wished you knew more about prayer? Or wanted different ways to pray that deepen your experience of and relationship with God? If so, this is the class for you. Using the book 50 Ways to Pray by Tesesa A. Blythe as our guide, for ten weeks we will explore prayer forms from a variety of faith traditions, both ancient and modern.
In each class, you’ll be introduced to a prayer form and choose one or more of the five to seven variations in that form to explore in the upcoming week. In the next week’s class, we will compare our experiences in prayer and then move to the next. The forms include the following: Biblical reflections, contemplative practices, lectio divina, life reflections, discernment processes, body prayers, prayers of the imagination, reflections in current media, and praying for others.
You will need to commit to one hour of class on each Sunday — and daily prayer time for three to six days each week.
