As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.  "Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.”  Mark 16:5-7

Wednesday Pastor’s Study

 

Classic Prayers of the Saints

 

 

In conjunction with the Session’s recent Call to Prayer, you are invited to join with others in studying and praying some of the classic prayers of the Christian faith.  These enduring prayers have refreshed and guided countless Christians into a closer relationship with God.

 

The Prayer of St. Francis

The Serenity Prayer

St. Patrick’s Breastplate

The Prayer of Confession

The only preparation each week will be to prepare your heart to draw closer to God.  The only homework will be to make each prayer your own.
