Save the Date: “Praying the Themes of the Lord’s Prayer” |

On Saturday, October 4, from 8:30am-noon, Jordan Lutheran in Apex will host a seminar on “Praying the Themes of the Lord’s Prayer.” Pastor Larry Eckart will lead this seminar. Using the Lord’s Prayer as the foundation, this seminar will add meditation on Scripture as an important part of personal prayer. Such meditation on Scripture allows the Holy Spirit to reconstruct our attitudes, priorities and motivations so that we experience the peace that we so often seek in other ways and encounter the world with “Gospel eyes.” Email Pastor Larry if you plan to attend: larryeckart54@gmail.com.
