YOU are invited to a Resiliency and Prayer Study!

Please consider participating in Pastor Cindy’s Resiliency and Prayer Study.     For completion of the Doctorate in Ministry program in Science & Theology, Pastor Cindy is analyzing the effect of prayer on resiliency. Join us on Saturday, November 3^rd, from 3-5pm in the Parlor of the Parish House and you will receive prayer bead training. This is a “new ancient” way of prayer using prayer beads. The training includes creating your own personal string of beads similar to the image below. A brief resiliency survey will be given at the first meeting and again on December 15^th after 6 weeks of daily personal prayer.
 

  A brief history of Prayer Beads: Christian prayer beads can be useful to focus the mind and heart on prayer. Since the late 1980’s many Protestant churches have begun using a set of 33 beads to represent the years of Christ’s life on earth. Ancient faith practices included the use of prayer beads more than 2000 years ago. Now ecumenical prayer beads have been developed to deepen prayer life for many faith traditions. The beads encourage meditating on God’s love and what Jesus has done for us as our Lord and Savior. This way of prayer may help to remove oneself from distractions in a busy world and focus on prayer that invites the presence of the Holy Spirit into our lives.

Please join us for this study of a “new ancient” way of praying.
