PRAYER AND YOU—ZOOM JANUARY 28 - “Prayer and You” is the topic for our two Wild & Precious

Zoom Conversations (aka “Spiritual Voyagers”). Join us, 7:00-8:30 pm, on Tuesday, January 28. Keith Ford will send out the Zoom link: if you are not already on our email list, let him know, and he will add you to it.

You are invited to join us whether you never pray or pray all the time--whether your prayer life is traditional, or based on nature, or meditation, or relationships. What perspective of prayer did you grow up with, and what is your perspective now? How does prayer "work" (or "not work") for you?

Here are two quotes to consider...

      * Pray without ceasing (from the Bible-- I Thessalonians 5:17)

      * I don't know exactly what a prayer is.  I do know how to pay attention...

(from the beginning of Mary Oliver's "wild and precious life” poem)

====================================

Great Gatherings - Happy New Year!  We hope your holidays were filled with joy and memorable gatherings. In the spirit of gatherings, we invite you to participate in the February 2025 Great Gatherings Auction as a host and/or participant. See the attached FLYER for more information.
