Letting God In - Praying in Color

Having trouble just sitting and praying? Perhaps praying in color will help you take advantage of your prayer time. Sybil MacBeth has developed a new prayer form that may help you move beyond using only words to pray. An instruction and practice session is planned for Monday, May 19 from 7:00-9:00 pm at the church. Paper and colors will be provided but feel free to bring your own colored pencils, markers or journal. Bring your bible and your own coffee mug or iced tea glass. Invite a friend.
