Seven week course on prayer, beginning on Tuesday 27 October November on Zoom, 7pm – 8.15pm

Prayer is at the heart of any relationship with God, and this plea from the disciples to Jesus is the universal plea of all who long to draw closer to God.  And yet God is already closer to us than we can ever imagine.  Prayer helps us realise that.  Our short course will look at different ways of praying, with emphasis on the relationship with God that they foster rather than as techniques to be mastered. 

Themes will include the Lord’s Prayer, that response of Jesus to the disciples’ request, along with Lectio Divina/Sacred Reading, Imaginative Prayer, Praying with Art and Centering Prayer.  Sessions will consist of input on the particular theme of the evening, with times of silence followed by a plenary session as we grow together into a praying community.  Additional material will also be offered at the end of each session should people wish to go deeper in their own prayer time during the subsequent week. 

Whether you are ‘new’ to prayer – and in a sense we all begin again each day – or have been praying for a long time and are seeking some additional inspiration, we hope this course has something for you.  A commitment to attend all seven sessions if possible would be helpful.
