SERVICES FOR THE MIND, HEART AND SOUL

WATCHMAN STUDY AND PRAYER (Monday- 7 PM )

At this time we are on the last two chapters of book, The Lost Art of Practicing His Presence by James W. Goll. The reader is invited into a deeper relationship with God through prayer, quiet meditation, extravagant worship, pondering, and fasting, in order to develop a greater union with God.  

We are on the last two chapters of the book. Last Monday night, we will continue in Chapter 10, of The Fasted Life. Additionally next Monday, May 4 th , we will begin Chapter 11, beginning on page 197 and ending on page 210. We do not rush through the material hoping that the slower pace allows everyone to offer personal input and observations. The end of the book offers the reader a bonus: "The Practice of the Presence of God" by Brother Lawrence.
We invite and welcome everyone to join us. We learn from each other so the more, the better. Come join us!
